    Mortgage advice

    We're first time buyers and have recently received an "Agreement in Principle" for a mortgage. Does this mean that we have more or less for the mortgage or are there still more checks to be done?

    Mortgage advice

    Does anyone know any good mortgage advisors? I have very little basic knowledge of the ins and outs, but buying property is something I am seriously considering, and am in need of some good advice. Naturally my repping cannons would be flexed in a positive way Cheers Steve.

    They've only gone and done it again. Those Arctic Monkeys boys just make me feel 21 again. For a short while listening to their music they make me forget mortgage payments, work deadlines, targets and general adult crap. They are on their way to being the nearest thing we've ever had to The...
