In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Thanks otter1. What is the purpose of checking a low LTV: surely if a mortgage company agrees to the mortgage, its going to go ahead??0

aeronic,
Dunno! Perhaps it makes them think we're more serious about buying (all that cash 'lying around with nothing to do' - nothing except earn lovely interest, obvo!)0 -
We've just done it, and had to pay slightly over the asking price of our dream home. Thing is though, there was an offer £10k more than ours from someone with a house to sell - and our offer was accepted!Has anyone else done this, and how much leverage did it provide (I assume more at the buying end than the selling price).
Leverage? at least you're the one who can proceed...Andy
