Lolz it's not easy despite the publicity saying that banks are lending and unless you are squeeky clean they will often dig for a reason to say no unless you have a broker who will pre-empt the lender and place you with the lender you are most likely to fit.
Also whilst I wouldnt advocate it for obvious reasons but having a creative broker/consultant is the only way people get by down here.

Never gonna happen and when they did try to help the FTB's out there they do it on a property price that hardly anyone can find a property in, well certainly not from Luton down I guess.
The jump from 1% - 3% is the hardest as buyers around the 275k mark are forced to find another £5500 but go and buy at £550k and it is 4% so another £5500 but as a % very small in the scheme of your move, and gone are the days of paying £250k plus some for fixtures and fittings unless it's like £1-2k max as it's a 7 page document the solicitors fill in now which goes to revenues dept and they can retrospectively inspect said items and still charge you the diff if they think you have pulled a fast one.
There were some solicitors who were advocating you can get away with no stamp duty as there was a loophole but revenues agian stated once it's closed they will retrospectively come after you...

Well I have just come back from a weekend up in Nottingham for the SPT where I bust in 57th or something having lost a cruical day2 pot with 2pair vs a flush draw and he held to leave me 20bbs and then ground a short stack till the penultimate level of the day before my exit hand where I jammed over a button limp with JQo and 14bigs and the BB woke up with A10 and it was gg me. Celtic bust 20 mins later so it was off to the kebab house to drown our sorrows together although we both said how much we enjoyed the event even though it nearly kicked off in the smoking area in an alcohol induced row!
Overall I ran pretty good in other things over the weekend as I backed Tropics @11/2 win and ew and had a losing ew double with Redvers, Tighty tipped me up Monaco and I had a decent sized wager from Thursday on Raikonen to podium in the F1 along with a match bet on Perez over Sutil which was weighed in early, another winner from Claypole on a Godolphin newbie but lost on under 180's in the darts final to win about 600nett across Sat/Sun. Oh and Vinny bought Nando's which meant I knew I would rungood over the weekend.
Having been knocked out late Sat night I had already organised a game of golf with Karabiner ( thanks for the invite) at his local course called Woolaton in Nottingham and he sharked me 2&1 but I was fairly happy with how I played having not picked up a club since November in the Caribbean with Demps and the course was in fantastic shape unlike myself although more to come on this later!!
Also chatted to other Blondeites inc Red, Tikay, Chilli, Tomsom, Alex, Milkshake (who disected how he called me with 9high and was good a cpl of weeks ago), FredW (kidz gonna go close to rivalling my degen past at the rate he is going!!) amongst many others and then Sunday after golf Vinny and myself drove down to Luton and hooked up with Claypole who was on his way to Galway to represent England in the team event at the festival (must be nice to be mates with Jake n Pez is all I can say) but in all seriousness GL to him this week.
Below are a cpl of clips from last week with Max and Ivy where Max is improving his footie skills and Ivy is getting her first youtube entry on the diary
This week is going to be busy as I am putting the finishing touches to business plan1 and hoping to get this up and running really soon along with some online cash and sats for stuff before it's my local GPS at Westcliff which I think will be the worst attended one unfortunately due to time of year and it being held in August when half of Essex visit Southend but if anyone does come down make sure you get into Old Leigh which is much better than Southend itself imo.
FML how do you not remember the best part of your weekend bumping into a slightly drunk me in said kebab shop hahaha good to see you both
