I'm pretty certain you had more than one enquiry because I've just rang these clowns to arrange some viewings ( My house is sold and quite far along now) They said i needed to see a Mortgage guarantee certificate before i can view anything they advertise.. " I'm not getting a mortgage i told them , it's from proceeds of sale plus savings".. You have to get your estate agent to confirm in writing that you have sold your house and we'll need to see your bank statement too... Errrr NO I won't do ...
