But as there is no chain with what we are buying the solicitor is going to ask if we can exchange and complete on the same day.
As a question of risk allocation, why would your lender advance monies before you had entered into a mortgage deed and for a period when you did not own the property. No chance whatsoever.
If you can simultaneously exchange and complete, it's easier...0 -
I just thought the whole point of 100% mortgages was that you did not need large amounts of mony laying about for a deposit.JeremyMarried 9th May 20090

that's what I have been saying - you don't need the large deposit, you have a small one and the OBLIGATION to pay the rest at completion - the remainder of the 10% you have agreed to be obliged to pay if you don't complete........ (without good reason).0 -

If you do not have the deposit for exchange then there are special mortages that allow you to draw on the mortgage funds to exchange. Your sols and the buyers sols should have asked how you were funding the exchange monies.
Ex & C could happen could get round this problem though.I love this site :beer:0 -

I had a 100% mortgage and exchanged and completed on the same day. The majority of people with 100% mortgages exchange and complete on the same day purely because of the fact they don't have a deposit to hand over on exchange.
However, your seller must obviously agree to simulataneous E&C.0
