  • So we have an offer from a woman who owns other property but wants to buy our flat as a 'live/work' space for herself in London.

    She viewed it when it was on the market originally in July and offered but we went with someone else.
    When it went back to market she was informed and she said she was still interested but our estate agent wouldn't put forward an offer from her until he saw an AIP.

    That was 4 weeks ago and she just disappeared, until yesterday where she has come through with an AIP on a buy to let mortgage, does it seem at all weird to anyone? or am i over thinking it..

  • or am i over thinking it..

    She's got an AIP. She wants to buy it. You want to sell it.

    Who cares what she wants to do with it??

    This. Also, her position presumably means she is chain free? Which would be good for you.

    (Our buyer is paying cash and chain free which is a godsend tbh).

  • If she's buying it as a live/work space, and has a BTL AIP, its a bit suspect, as its potentially mortgage fraud...

    As you say, if it completes, then its not really @rogan's problem, however BTL rental and property valuation figures might affect things going forwards (the mortgage amount and deposit required), as well as if the lender/solicitor does any additional checks.
