    Need advice on buying a house needing refurbishment

    The estate agent acts for the seller, not the buyer. As such I would not believe what he says - the situation is likely to be worse. Get a proper survey if you intend to buy.

    Issues opening a deposit account with poor credit history

    My suspicion is that there is some significant issue with her history at the bank in question which has been her bank for a while. I would like her to avoid Credit Unions for this amount of money. Is it not typical for a bank to do a credit check on a deposit account?

    23-year-old with 20K debt

    You appear to have no interest in sorting out your expensive (compared to your income) lifestyle and instead keep looking for excuses as to why you need to drop your debt and run away. I predict that if you ran away from your debts you would end up back in the same position in 5 years time.

    Certified copy of ID documents

    Any UK bank which I've applied to will accept certification by a chartered accountant. If you work in a company then it should be simple enough to have one of them sign and stamp the copy of your passport or driving licence.

In this case you would not need to take out a loan to complete the work or pay off debts owing on the estate (which should be your...

    Probate: How long does the process take and how much does it cost?

    Re: Probate Typically an executor will have up to 1 year to get started on the estate. Unless it's a complex estate the probate fee you've been quoted is crazy. I'm having a solicitor perform it for less than 4k. If the estate is simple you can always perform probate yourself - no need for...

    Inland Revenue Affidavit

    In that instance if I had two valuations from two estate agents then would there be an issue with submitting the higher of the two? It would clearly be an advantage in the low-valuation/higher-sale situation. This is assuming that the house value would rise (unlikely) and that we would not...
