It's a good idea to get a mortgage offer in principle, and some lenders
are much quicker than others. Halifax and Alliance and Leicester get the

weeks, for example, which can make people antsy.

I won't require a mortgage. But I shall get a survey done
nevertheless, especially on the property I have my eye on, as it's 150
years old. As old as I feel this morning.
