Add the fees etc on at the end?

Hello,

Very sorry, I have ANOTHER query.

Other half went to see another broker today, our first one had seemed less than efficient and has gone on hols for 2 wks leaving our application in the learch.

This broker seemed better, and has found us a good deal with Abbey. Having gone through all the usual process of application, she worked out the figure that we need to be less than we thought.(!!)

When OH asked about it, she said that the best way forward for us would be to apply for what we need MINUS the application fees/stamp duty.(we were incorporating this in with the mortgage) this amount would then get adjusted at the end, and added on to the mortgage.

I realise that this is because we are going up to our max borrowing, but is this NORMAL/OK?

The last thing we need is to be landed with a bill for the difference at the very end.

Hope you understand my question (dont know if explained very well) and if anyone can give me an answer tonight it would be great - got to make a quick decision on this.

Ta.
