knackered house - problem for mortgage?

Your circumstances may be different to the neighbour.

Generally, the lender may hold advancing some money back after the property has been valued. This retention will be released to you subject to you having the work completed satisfactorily and a further inspection will take place to verify that.

It would seem that you a switched on to the problems already and you would not be shocked to hear the lender tell you that.

Post the following info:

Property value
Mortgage loan amount
Incomes
Adverse history

    It should be straightforward then

    It will all be down to the surveyor and whether s/he thinks the lender should place a retention on the mortgage until any essential works are carried out

    But it looks like you are prepared for that anyway

    You do not state your incomes.

    The fact that you are employees of your company could cause a problem with some lenders.
