We were all set to complete today, full of excitement and plans. Just waiting for the call from the estate agents asking us to come in and sign. Instead we get a call from Halifax asking us to come in with some ID. When we get there we show our ID, and with no explanation they tell us they've decided to pull the mortgage?? WTF?? Can you imagine how our sky fell out today?

We still don’t know what’s going on, only that Halifax has been pulling mortgages off the market all week. We could end up losing 40k held in deposit with the buyers' solicitor.

On top of this the family of the house we’re supposed buy, moved out only yesterday; they’re now shacked up in temporary accommodation, and we’re spitting fireballs.
