I felt like I had to go home and scrub in the shower every time we met with him, but I'd use him again.<br /><br />I feel sorry you've had to undergo this stress - banks really are in 'bankworld', like the ad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562287637130603845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684118343878035409.post-9482650512107694582010-06-10T09:40:44.662+10:002010-06-10T09:40:44.662+10:00I have the name of a mortgage broker too, Fee.

She was brilliant with our complex arangements.<br /><br />Banks are such bastards. I remember Jan's story and was gobsmacked at the carelessness they displayed with other people's money and lives.M-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409916623998907121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684118343878035409.post-29623881017471031292010-06-10T07:44:20.807+10:002010-06-10T07:44:20.807+10:00I have a friend who is an independent mortgage bro...I have a friend who is an independent mortgage broker (not a knitter though).

If it does, I can understand it. when my son bought this place in December, he was not told till 2 days before settlement that they had knocked off $200,000 from what was promised. He has several loans with them for property. Talk about stress, owner would not extend the settlement and said he would sue for whole amount.<br /><br />He finally made the amount, seemingly miraculously at the very last moment possible. To compound the matter, we had removalists sitting in the street for three hours for which he paid. Why? The bank did not turn up to settlement. Said they knew nothing. Lots of angst as you can imagine. Lawyers scrambled to reschedule that same day.<br /><br />He has since been in touch with a manager he knew at another bank. Remortgaged everything. This place was valued at $150,000 over what he paid for it, in other words a difference of $350,000 in 4 months. Other properties were also valued higher, although he wanted only to cover the existing mortgages.<br /><br />Do you know the bank a bit out of Marrickville main shops with its own little parking area like pulling into a service station? You could try there.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684118343878035409.post-17497180044422883452010-06-09T19:56:24.538+10:002010-06-09T19:56:24.538+10:00Gah!
