    Spoke to Natwest who aren't prepared to give us a mortgage as husband is still in his 6 months probation period (!) so looking at other options, including (embarrassingly) the bank of mum and dad.

    Would be tempted to approach a broker, but given the good feedback from ACG it possibly isn't worth our time at this late stage.

    Thanks for all of your help though!

    could you wait another few months, till the probation is over (and, BTW, that probation period looks so long) and you've had a few months credit history here?

  • We have an IFA who is going to see what he can turn around for us. Said Halifax might be a quick solution so fingers crossed. Thanks everyone
  • We have been approved in principle by Halifax via a broker so fingers crossed our offer will be accepted tomorrow and then the hard work starts to pay it off!
