Loan to cover deposit and fees for new property

Can anyone provide a bit of advice on how to apply for a loan to cover part of the deposit and fees for our new property?

We are first time buyers and have a mortgage (agreed in principle) and the bank is ready to send a evaluator out to have a look at the property.

I have done my application through an independant mortgage advisor. The bank has done a credit check, approved my credit rating but apparently they do a second credit check just before releasing the money. If I apply for a personal loan now, this will show up on my credit score and the bank may not release the funds. Is this true?

Can anyone please provide some solution, how I may get around this?

Thanks

    You can't use a loan for a deposit, no lender will accept it.
    No disrespect but if you're feeling a loan is needed, then you can't afford to purchase.

    Maybe look at your own affordability first. We dont know it so it may look like we are pre judging.
