    Sadly, ours is mostly 95% and well under £80k mortgage so we're very limited in who we can use.

    I didnt realise you did SO Dave. I could have fired a couple over to you earlier in the year... A couple where clients do tell you the full story.

    WOAH - not as a rule we don't unless the case is really strong, as the criteria is soooo tight...

    As my old Headmaster used to say, "the reward for good work is more work," although even he could not have foreseen the hassle in arranging shared ownership mortgages. ;)

    Dave, next time you think it's a good idea to say how good you are, think about this thread! :D

    Point of order there, T.

    I was born in Urmston and was brought up and went to school in Eccles. Pre-1974 it was Lancashire Education committee, then Salford. He was head of a normal mid-70s comprehensive, but a good one for the area/time.

    I'm not one of these outlandish Manchester folk. :D
