As for the original poster the biggest risk by far is a house price crash happening while you sit on two houses. If that were to happen concern about the interest rate and fees will seem trivia.

I went in aggressively with a cash offer an hour after being the first viewer, turning up with builders who were verbally very negative in front of other people on the open day, utilizing a bridging loan facility that I had previously agreed, sending all proof within an hour, plus 20k above the asking price and phoning every hour to close out.Originally posted by AtW View PostYou went in aggressively by offering £20k more over asking price?
That's how you nail something down Squirrel boy as opposed to having the vendor offering you a property one year and increasing it my 60k a few years later.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
