    If they are unethical enough to do that they are unethical enough to say they will only pay 370 the day before exchange. Stick with your ftb'ers, but well done :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi, just wanted to sound the alarm that the woman in the street might struggle to raise her finance if she wants to get a buy to let and let to her mum (they don't like you to let to family) or a residential mortgage if she is not going to live there. She may not be up to date with extra 3% stamp duty paid on a second property either.

    If you are considering the offer at all I think you need full proof of funds in case they can't fulfill it and confirmation they understand extra stamp duty too.

    All in all I hope your first time buyers will be a more secure sale.

  • Thanks gally :)
    Just phoned them to say 'no!' ( politely of course).
    They are probably the type to moan about survey/ reduce price etc .

    Just hope the ftb are the ones now . I think I deserve some respect for sticking up for them .
    We will see ...
