It can be debated until the cows come home but its their money and their rules. I do not mean that to come across as being rude but the priority is getting you in the new place without paying £7k in costs, so whilst there is no issue having an argument, complaining and appealing its worth looking at other options as there is no guarantee they will back down.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
