My solicitor received the mortgage offer from Halifax today, so it's all go!  I've just paid my deposit and also returned the contract, so exchange is complete as best as I can tell.  Just to arrange a completion date now  :cool:

Overall been quite impressed with Halifax.  Their offer was competitive, they've also been very quick at sorting everything out.  Definitely recommend them :afro:

Exchange won't happen until all your searches are back, contracts checked, fixtures and fittings agreed upon, and deeds released. Then there is another round of signing when you'll exchange, normally 3-6days before completion, when you'll get the keys. It's a long old process.

I've signed the first round of contracts and all the searches are complete.  They asked me today when we'd like to move in.  Doing an inspection with the site manager next week to go over the properly, any faults we want putting right etc.  Then we have to give them a week to sort them. Aiming for 16th November, they've hinted they'd like us to complete sooner, but I said no.  I can't justify the extra weeks mortgage payment when we're still living in our rented flat.

Just spent a small fortune in Wickes on all sorts of bits and bobs!  At least there were 25% off all the tiles  :smiley:

One of the advantages of being older.  :laugh: 4 more payments and my house will be all mine. The trouble is, we would like to move to something with land and buildings, but that would mean having to borrow all over again.  :sad:

Good stuff

Ours has dragged on so much we need to renew out mortgage offer very soon which means we save about £30 a month as the rates have dropped a bit.
