Mortgages & Endowments

A question about : mortgages and bonus'

i have only been in my job about 10 months but would like to raise some cash to do up my house, now does anybody know if there are any companies out there that will use my bonus/commission when working out how much money i can have on a re-mortgage? There is a big difference between my basic and what i actually earn, and find it quite frustrating that banks say that my basic salary does not even entitle me to what i owe at the moment, even tho i understand the reasoning behind it!!!!!!

A question about : First Direct Mortgage Application

Hello all,

We started the process of taking out a new mortgage with FD, currently with A&L, about 2 weeks ago. So far our new bank account has been set up and our mortgage offer has been agreed, subject to survey. How long did it take for your survey to be done after you heard that your mortgage had been agreed? And once the survey had been done how long did it take for the process to complete? We were advided the process would take 12-14 weeks, but things seem to be moving faster than expected.
