Soldato
Wife signing her side of the contract tomorrow! I am going to view a flat later. Completion is not far away now!
We had to do 6 months recently for our current purchase. As my wifes parents have given us some money we had to show proof of that being paid into an ISA, Then 6 months of statements for them to prove where that ISA money came from.
Oh god yeah that is madness really... but through the hoops we must jumpSee if we did have any extra income we hadnt declared i woukd understand that but on the forms we've filled in it quite clearly states the deposit being used is coming from the proceeds of selling our current house so theres been no extra large sums at all. Six months just seems a tad excessive even the mortgage lender only want 1 months
Well we accepted a offer yesterday on my property

Now of to find somewhere for 500k ish, we are looking at Northampton for the space offered
Only non standard sales dont necessarily show on public LR data. The only real way that their story could be true is if they bought the house at auction, or from a bank, ie a repossession purchase. I believe these sales are not shown if they are deemed to be outside of usual market value.
So tomorrow is M-Day. It is strange seeing your entire life essentially boxed and all pilled up in a one room. It is both a sad and an exciting day.
Been lurking around this thread for a while since we started to think about moving. Sold our house for pretty much asking price within a week of advertising, had an offer accepted on the house we wanted within another 7-10 days. SInce then we have had the dreaded wait to exchange. We have signed all our contracts so hoping that exchange day shall be soon.
Like you I have begun thinking more and more about moving day. Moving is absolutley the right thing for us to do. Despite only living in our current house for about 7 years there are a lot of strong memories here, our entire family life so far, my partner our son and myself is wrapped up in this little house. Our son is 7 years old and I think packing up his bedroom and saying goodbye to his superhero themed bedroom which was a labour of love to create his going to be a tear jerker.

How long should I expect for the searches to come back? We've received the mortgage offer in the post today with the solicitor saying we should be in within 4-6 weeks from now, from members experiences, do you think this is accurate?
