House buying at an auction

I would advise doing a full application beforehand including the survey to ensure the property is suitable security for a mortgage - ie not falling down. If you don't win, you will lose your survey fee but it's better than commiting to buy a property that you can't secure finance on.

Only a fool would do otherwise

(Fingers crossed for the Halifax to come up with the money)

My gallery and picture framing business is only about 4 miles away, I'm sure you'll be needing some pictures and framing.

Good luck with the conversion.
