    As you suggest, the Council of Mortgage Lender's Handbook suggests that Halifax will accept an ABC+ warranty.
    See: https://www.cml.org.uk/lenders-handbook/englandandwales/question-list/1913/


    But the fact that some other lenders don't seem accept it would also worry me. When reselling the property, some buyers might not want to proceed, if their preferred lender won't accept ABC+.

    I expect Angie's resolved it by now. She asked the question a couple of years ago, and she hasn't logged in for a couple of months.
  • Good point, Eddy.  For some reason this came up on my feed as a thread from today.  Dunno what happened there as I don't take to browsing old, old threads.

  • Right, I've worked it out.  Someone posted a message immediately before mine then deleted it.
