    I can assure you that Andy is not my pimp and I am not his B****.

    More like the other way round :D

    Back to the original point-

    I have have many times advised people against purchases / mtg application after discussing the property state and its likiehood of meeting lenders requirements on survey .. and I would have thought most FA would have considered this point ( but some of the valuation is opinion rather than fact) but whether the FA has a responsibility to do so in the depth that I go is another question.

    Maybe see it like a car inspection- AA may offer advice on loan and do an inspection for you

    B2L mortgages ( that are based on rental income) are generally not for refrubs .. pre 2007 you might have had more slack from a lender, but lenders look at reasons to decline not accept

    other avenues may have been available
    via an independent mortgage advisor we found via a search site.
    maybe your route of finding an adviser was flawed? or perhaps like some people were looking a bit thro' rose tinted glasses at the property / rental market
