We have just tried to purchase a new build house from countryside properties. At first they tried to push us into using their mortgage broker, Oh yes he found us a mortgage but the set up fees alone were £2000 which is considerably more that what we could find, and the monthly repyments were more than the mortgage we had found. Guess what Countryside properties were not happy that we didn't go with their mortgage broker. Next we get a survey done on the house and its is valued at £182000, £13000 less than what they were asking. Oh dear we upset them again, then it was a case of change lender who will meet the asking price. Next it goes all the way to head office who agree to lower the price to £189950 if we can add £5000, to what the survey / valuation stated it was worth £182000 ( Oops Some one there can't add up as even this only adds up to £187000, and yes i do have this conversation on my phone. ) Also they are refusing to allow us to approach another lender who we have been in talk's with and will offer the full amount and will not take any builder incentives into consideration. Finally they now say find the extra money or you don't get the house oh and you won't get your £1000 reservation fee back. lastly there is a possibility that they may try to saddle us with the cost of the part exchange as our home had sold and was going through. During this mess we were on holiday and me being the wife who is disabled was and his trying attend my clinic appointment's in peace. I am urging anyone to stay away from this builder they don't talk.
