Halifax. The lease on the flat had a bit under 90 years remaining, which they knew from the beginning, but they decided to have a tantrum about it at the last possible moment. It probably won't happen to you, and if it does, you'll cope.0 -
Bless you, its such a stressful time. Glad it all worked out for you in the end.0

In my many years of broking, it has happened just once to a client of mine due to an error on the part of the solicitor. It was rectified and back on track with a few days delay which caused a whole lot of problems but worked out eventually.
Is it possible? - yes. Would I worry about it? - no more than I would worry about being hit by a bus when leaving the house.0 -
I have had it happen once. This week in fact.
Client has exchanged on a newbuild but not yet completed. One of the pair works for Thomas cook.

How long do they have until completion date to get a new job? Almost any new job will do, I guess!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
As an update.
I have managed to get the mortgage offer reinstated even though it didn't quite fit the lenders affordability. PhewI am a Mortgage Adviser
