    Yeah totally I agree.

    But in a "genuine" case of someone losing there job between exchange and completion - what would happen to the deposit if the lender found out/was told?
    Lender would still withdraw offer, to protect itself from increased risk.

    Exchange places no obligation on lender and borrower would be left in same position whether resignation/job loss was disclosed or not.

    Offers are withdrawn following new information, such as a change in credit position between application and completion. It doesn't happen often, but there have been thread on here about it.
