Being daft, but reading conflicting info on here.
Someone please come and pat me on the head and tell me I've misunderstood.
We are gearing up to exchange shortly on a house. I just read on another thread that you usually have to pay your deposit (ours is 10%) a week to a few days before you exchange.
Huh?? We definitely do not have a spare £16,000 in the bank. We would struggle to find £1,600.
Surely this can't be right? We will have our deposit when we sell our house, but not a moment before.
