    This should be relatively easy to place for a broker, just HSBC being HSBC I am afraid.

    Be very careful on lender/broker selection as speed will be necessary and some lenders are more behind with their valuations than others at the moment.

    Best of luck

    Dont take it personally. HSBC are renowned for it.

    Speak to a broker. See how you can proceed.

  • Thanks the replies.

    That's what I thought - how do I find a decent broker?

    To give us an AIP for 220k and then say they'd only offer half that is a joke.

  • Thanks again for the reassurance.

    We're going to sit tight tonight as not much can be done and then look into things in the morning.
