I went straight into currys, didnt see a tv broker and bought straight from the shop. But I still got the right tv for me at the right price and I couldnt find it cheaper anywhere else.

Errr thanks, but I was actually kidding about the TV. I think a bed, somewhere to sit and a few pots and pans might be closer to the top of my priorities list.

Is there any particular reason you keep on taking the pi**? The TV comment was a joke, not serious.

If any of the other stuff I have written above is stupid it is because, being a FTB, I have no experience or knowledge of mortgages. I came here looking for advice, and thankfully some have offered it, perhaps, if you feel up to it, you could point out where I'm potetntially going to go wrong with my plan. If not, please just leave the thread.

Fat boy,

I am simply in a lighthearted mood, and there really is no need for me to assist as andrew smith, who is very experienced for the record is assisting you.

I do not understand why you have taken my comments personally, I;ve looked back and none of them seem this way to me. You have not said anything stupid whatsoever. As for leaving the thread, I don't mean to offend you, but this is a public forum and apart from show you a nice tv and suggest you save money by purchasing in the january sales I have done nothing wrong!

Good luck with the purchase

MM,

Sorry if I cam across a bit stroppy, I'm a bit stressed about all this right now (and there's a load of other stuff going on in the background to boot).

Anyway, it was a nice TV, but a bit out of my price range right now - might have to take your advice and wait for the sales!

Mortgages and property purchases are one of the most stressful things you can do, which is why coming on here will help you enormously. If I were you I would speak with a broker who has experience in dealing with armed forces, I'll probably get my butt kicked for this but I don't care as I know it will help you out - AndrewSmith (above) is a very good broker with experience you need - I'm sure if you contact him he will sort you out and lighten the load. I've only ever heard positive things from his clients.

Good luck mate!

100% agreed

I'm just sick of the FSA full stop. A lot of the current regulations and requirements are farsical and serve no real purpose except to cause confusion to the public.
