Oh, I thought you already had a mortgage offer!
To do what you want to do, you could rent one of the houses out for a year, and that could be used to help with the affordability.
If that's what Poojah has done, surely he already knows it's a condition of the mtg? What if the sale of his current home doesn't have to be on the same date?
In that scenario it wouldn't be an infraction at all, because it wouldn't happen.
So you're saying it's not possible that the lender would make a mortgage offer without adding a condition that the existing home is sold? I find that hard to believe. So are you a solicitor or mortgage advisor? And...
It would be possible, yes.
My guess is that it would be quite a small infraction. Meh, you were selling your home, but it fell through, and you went ahead with the purchase planning to sell at a later date.
Well obviously you need to ensure you can afford it.
I'd just go ahead if I could afford it.
