The wider assessment
Identify the issue that affects the lending
Title restrictions, ownership changes, gifted deposits and lease conditions can all affect a lender. Raising them early helps establish whether extra consent or a different route is needed. We agree responsibilities rather than duplicating professional advice.
Mortgage advice does not replace legal advice. Exchange and completion decisions require the solicitor's and client's agreement.
