Hi,

Will it be able to get completed without me being here? its a joint application and the other applicant will still be here. Can i sign all the papereork in advance?
Have been messed around by a rogue mortgage broker so now gone to someone i know who i should have gone to in the 1st place.

You need to discuss this with your solicitor.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser Code of Conduct. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice.

What do you mean 'My rtb is near the end'. Has the council served any notices on you forcing you to complete?
As other posters said your solicitor can complete on your behalf, it's the mortgage that might be a problem.0
