Making an Offer on a house without deposit ready

Hi!
I'm due to inherit some money shortly (mid July) which will be used to buy a house.
I've just seen a house which is perfec' and want to make an offer - what's the likely hood (if accepted) the legal & application process would go along smoothly and be ok with a "getting money in the future" kind of deal?

I'm just purchasing a property, and along with wage slips, ID etc, also had to provide proof of deposit (copy of statement).
Could someone lend you the money short term? A friend of mine did this - it complicated things slightly, but the mortgage has gone through.0 -
It could do, depending on your solicitor. They will ask for proof of funds at some point..Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

I can get proof from the probate solicitor I guess, Statements and what not.
It's just if the mortgage company flags it up as not in my account/ownership I guess?0 -
Until probate is granted, it is anyones guess as to how long it will be before you get your money - see HERE for examples
If it were my house you offered on, I would not withdraw it from market without proof of deposit.0
