I currently have my LISA with money box. Is it possible to deposi 4k before April 6,2024, and deposit another 4k before April 30 and withdraw it for FTB? Will I get the 2k bonus? Estroller: 1 Like |

solveabode: The tax year is from April 6th - April 5th the following year, so yes you can and will get the full bonus on both deposits. You can also withdraw for your home purchase as long as you've had the account for minimum of a year before your withdrawal date. If you withdraw before the 1st anniversary of the account, you'll have to pay a penalty for withdrawing early. 3 Likes |

hi hi, Please can anyone list out some quality mortgage advisors? I have one but the lady is a bit slow in responding and writing up an AIP. Does AIP take time to develop? I have house viewing and i'm seriously looking at moving this year by God's special grace.. If mortgage advisor is dragging, what would solicitor then do? I just need a list of alternatives so i can change mortgage advisor if she keeps dragging her feet. Thanks. 2 Likes |

For those that purchased recently or have experience buying new builds from developers, Do they usually discount on the price, (asides the cash back they would give towards completion i.e flooring, kitchen/bathroom upgrade etc). Cos me I dey always ask for discount ooh but none of them have bulged so far. Would be nice to know if anyone was able to secure a discount in the asking price of their New build property. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by profemebee(m): 2:35pm On Jan 23 |
From my experience, None!!!!! Cashback is the negotiating tool they use.. and that can be used for whatever you want Santa2: |

Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Santa2: 12:08am On Jan 24 |
Solumtoya: Around what point is the deposit usually transferred to Solicitor. is it usually around exchange of contracts, or usually at completion. I understand it might be different with each application. But just want to have an overview. |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Solumtoya: 6:09am On Jan 24 |
Santa2: Yes, ideally it's just before Exchange of Contracts but can be anytime till Completion. Because my LISA was not 1 year yet by Exchange of Contracts, I got a waiver to exchange without paying deposit and paid just before Completion. The Solicitor really just holds the deposit till Completion but they want to have it by the time you Exchange to avoid stories. |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Santa2: 1:13pm On Jan 24 |
Solumtoya: Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate. |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Pearlyfaze: 4:25pm On Jan 25 |
Santa2: Some give a 5% deposit and all of these other benefits you wrote here. Our developer gave us a 5% deposit for New Build, We exchanged the Contract on the 4th of January for LTV 80%. We provided 15% and the builder 5%. The same kind of house is now 15k above what was sold to us. I don't know if it's a good sign. So it depends on where and Who. Perssimon Gave my friend 5% also. We are in the North East of England. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Can anyone please recommend a snagger around the Yorkshire region? When is the best time to get Snagger to visit the house? Also, I need clarifications on these two: 1. If we get the keys and we are yet to move into the house, at what point are we going to start changing our address? When we move in or when we get the keys? 2. When can we contact the Council for Bins? |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Bourne007(m): 9:30am On Jan 26 |
1. If you have the keys, you can start changing immediately. 2. As soon as you can or you dey fear Storm Daniel go blow them away 😜 specialenvoy: |

I thought you can't use the LISA to buy house if it's not up to a year? Solumtoya: |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Estroller: 8:10pm On Jan 26 |
solveabode: Yes that's correct. In OP's case, he was only allowed to exchange contract, which means he can't back out of the deal again at that point without taking a financial hit. Money does not change hands at this point, it does at completion by which time I believe OP's LISA would have marked it's 1st anniversary, thereby eligible for withdrawal for the home purchase. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by specialenvoy: 12:43am On Jan 27 |
Lol @ Storm Daniel. On the address change, it might still take us about 3 weeks before we move to the new house, if we decide to start changing the week we are moving in, Is there any issue for concern? Bourne007: |
