P.S. A few extra comments. Mortgages – we can help. Bridging loans – We can help. Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing. Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers. Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress. Call us for information on any of these points
