    As long as NRK don't go bust, you should be fine - as the Bank of England are letting them borrow against the mortgages they're writing they can advance you the funds and then borrow the vast majority back from the BoE.

    If they go bust then they won't have the money to lend to you!

    I'm not sure what happens if you've exchanged contracts but not completed. I don't know if they segregate the cash on exchange to guarantee it's there when you come to complete. I'd find out before exchanging if I were you. Exchanging but not completing is a nightmare I understand.
