Dicks.
Was the oven a posh/expensive one?
I don't think I have any advice that hasn't already been given other than don't pin your hopes and dreams on anything until all paperwork is signed. I've known things fall through in the last minute and people be distraught at not getting the house of their dreams.
London and Country are pretty good brokers, we've used them both times. If your mortgage in principle is from a bank, they might be worth a chat to anyway to see if they can save you some money by getting you a better rate elsewhere. When I bought the house in Stoke it was in the vicinity of a mine shaft so had to go with a company that were happy with that. Oh, I was also self employed and my income was topped up with Tax credits - it was all good fun! But again ruled out a lot of lenders and they knew that straight away.
If it's the the house you showed me a few days ago it's lovely - good luck.
