    I would be speaking to the FOS about this, they refunded the fees on a closed account, surely by refunding they are admitting liability?

    No. Debt collection is an expensive business. So sometimes writing off the debt owed is the most cost effective resolution to close the matter.

    Get a broker...have you got a good deposit? That can work wonders :)

    5% by the looks of it.

    I have £16k so far but I will have over 5%. I want to buy a new build but I'm going to take the chance of a deal when the builder has a house of the week maybe Feb. Seems that you get lots more for your money.

    With the help to buy equity loan I'll have a 25% deposit and I pass all the criteria.

    I'm also nervous about brexit price drops between exchange and completion so I'm not buying off plan.
