    I think the KFI should state if the fee is 'refundable until completion' or similar - if it doesn't, it probably isn't, but should be stated somewhere on your paperwork.

    Have you actually had a formal mortgage offer or just a decision in principle? Moving to a higher LTV (more risk for the lender) I would expect to mean 1/ back to underwriting to review, and 2/ higher rate product.

    A smaller deposit = a higher bar on the underwriting


    You may not get an offer with a 10% deposit.


    You need to speak to the lender as what will be available depends on the circumstances of your case.

    Suggest you speak to Tesco first in order to establish what they will or will not do.
