Getting a mortgage
1 Someone told me a few months ago that getting a mortgage would be easy. How
2 wrong they were! When I firstwent into the bank, I asked them how much I could
3 borrow.They refused toanswer even such a simple question, saying that I had to
4 find a house before theycould tell me whether they would have lend me the
5 money or not. I thought thiswas ridiculous and so told a white lie, saying that
6 I had already found ahouse.They finally said they would lend me the money, so
7 that was great.Then the problems started. Afew weeks later a friend told me about
8 a wonderful flat that was for sale. Hesuggested our buying it together because it was
9 so large and I agreed. When Iwent back to the bank and said I was planning to
10 buy a flat with a friend, thebank manager denied doing that he ever said the bank
11 would give me a mortgage andclaimed that he had looked at my finances and knew
12 I wasn't earning enough toborrow money. I begged him to have another look at my
13 records as I knew he was wrong.Finally, he agreed to reconsider my case and
14 eventually sent me a letterwhich stated that the bank would quite happy to give me
15 a mortgage. By then, though, itwas too late as someone else had bought the flat!
