Well, it feels like a very long time since I first started this thread all the way back in mid-February, the day before Valentine's day. Anyway, somehow, and I'm not quite sure how, we got the job done and completed on our new home last Friday. It's been a stressful one, and it took some serious...

It’s a fair question, but I’ve been transparent. They shared their situation, and I said “ok, I THINK I might be able to work quickly, IF I can, would you accept X”. They said yes, I said I’ll get back to them.

Thanks for the input chaps. I look forward to receiving the wisdom of Mr Spielberg, if he would be so kind. :thumbsup:

I have a bit of a question relating to a mortgage application for all you finance buffs out there. Let’s say you have sufficient finance available to fund buying a new property, in the form of a healthy deposit and making up the difference with a mortgage. Essentially, you don’t need to sell...
