Hi
I had an AIP agreed for £124,500 and the the full application approved for £110,000 for a house costing £130,000 i had a £20,000 deposit.
I have now pulled out of purchasing this house - too many problems with it.
I have had an offer accepted on another house for £158,000 and have upped my deposit to £32,000 - 20%.
Will the bank only lend me up to the value of the AIP or lend more because i have a higher deposit ?
Thanks
Ian

they should offer what you need still.
As to whether they would offer more, its difficult to say without knowing your financial details.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Thanks for your reply

I dont think they would increase it by that much to be honest.
You might get a couple of extra thousand but i wouldnt say much more than £5k at best. Speak to the lender or your broker.

Thanks again. Do you mean an extra £5,000 over the original AIP of £124,500 so it would be £129,500 ?0

I think they probably will increase it by a few grand but you should double check with them just to be sure.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Not meaning to be rude, but all this chatter is pointless, just ask the lender!0
