u/Stormgeddon

Hello,

FTBs here who have just kicked off the process for a new build we are very happy with. We’ve received onboarding documents from our conveyancers today, and I had just a couple questions that I was wary of raising with them in case we unnecessarily set off alarm bells.

We’re both foreign nationals who have lived in the UK for several years. All of our deposit was accumulated through our UK wages and we can evidence that amply. However, we’ve ended up with a plot that will be ready next month, and not in October as we originally planned, so we’re scrambling a bit with the surprise immediate costs!

We’re able to pay the conveyancing fees and so on out of our wages, but to do so we would need to rely upon savings/family support from the USA to pay some household bills and expenses (e.g. a small holiday which is now poorly timed).

Is this something we need to disclose to anyone at any stage? We’ve been very careful to not commingle UK and foreign funds because of some of the horror stories we’ve read! Just trying to avoid causing issues where none exist.

Thanks in advance!
