we are going to see house for 2nd viewing saturday, but already their estate agent has had us an appointment to see them incase we put in offer, to establish whether we serious etc, ie if we can afford the property ??
I said ok to this, ie pencil us in for appointment incase we do put offer in, cos we in Essex and est agent and house in Kent, so cant just drive around the corner.
They have now sent me an email saying I need to bring id, ie passport with me,....Is this normal ??? we will have £200k deposit and only want 100k mortage max, and not going through them,,,,,,,,so is this normal ???

It's an underhand way of making you see their mortgage advisor.
All you need to do is show your AIP to them or give them the contact number of your mortgage broker. You ARE seeing an independent, whole of market one, aren't you!?
You don't have to see their person at all.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
