    Potentially Abbey if you are a very high score, or Barclays/Woolwich with their Pre-approved mortgage limits (PAML) for existing customers.

    Ah yes I have no financial commitments (cycle everywhere!)

    mobile is sim only, rolling contract on broadband, makes for an easy life when you want to fly off somewhere for a month.

    I will give abby and barclays a call thanks for youe help.

    find a cheaper house, the thought has occured and may do but this place has a lot potential.

    The same thoughts of many an overstretched housebuyer who now find themselves in the financial sh*t.

    Before you call up, consider the following:

    Most flexible lenders only go to 5 * income as max.

    Woolwich was mentioned only if you have the current account with them and credit funded.

    .

    rather than give them a call, why not contact a broker, who will see if you have a good case, if you go direct, chances are they will just credit chck and decline you, leaving footprints, a good broker will only do this if they think it will go anywhere.

    Try getting a cheaper house instead.

    Or just offer the seller less for the one already identified
