My friends daughter has been house hunting they looked at a few old ones then decided to go for a brand new one. The moving date is in 3 weeks(that is when she has to be out of the rented property she is in now) After chasing up the survey again they have been told 80% is the most you can borrow on a new house!!!. The woamn they have been dealing with has never uttered a word about this & she is on holiday for 2 weeks. To say every one is upset is an understatement .Is the 80% max a bog standard thing?
