We kinda did this knowing we weren't going to sign up with any of Choice's recommended lenders. We have a great relationship with our bank and one of their Lending Managers, and were going to take our new mortgage with them. The main reason for this was that after paying for the land, we had to wait for the sale of our property before having enough cash to pay the 5% PD deposit, so it was easier to 'pretend' to go through Choice than look at other avenues to fund the 5%. When the paperwork came through from Choice's recommended lender, we politely declined, having already organised unconditional finance through our bank. So now all we have to do is pay the 5% minus the $2,500 already paid, at handover. At tender, we were asked how we wanted to pay the deposit, but on advising that we were going through Choice, we got an "oh, that's fine then, just $1,500 is all you need to pay". Later down the track when providing proof of finance, we mentioned to our BC that we had sorted our own funding, she didn't seem to care one iota. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12320 Ask for references and speak to them.
