The frantic search for a mortgage has wound down now. After checking with a number of finance companies and getting flatly refused by most of them it is time to make a decision.
As usual, we’ve gone for the path of least resistance and decided to give up. We may be able to secure a mortgage but because it would be an unconventional loan we think that the cost would be too much.
Our cunning plan is to just wait until we have some more money in the bank. That way we can thumb our noses at the companies that rudely dismissed us this time, in particular my bank.
