Question by Michelle: What is involved in selling to someone who wants a FHA loan?
I had my condo on the market and it has an offer now. They are wanting a FHA loan and have added in the extra 3% over and beyond my asking price. My realtor is telling me that I can deduct this portion off of my taxes since I’m paying for it now in the cost of selling my place. This is only the 2nd time I have sold a place and the other was a conventional loan and that’s all I’ve ever done too. I will see the offer tomorrow, malady generic so would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

The buyers are asking you to pay for closing costs up to 3 percent of the purchase price. You don’t have to agree to this. But in today’s real estate market, a seller has to make concessions if he/she want to sell. What is often written into a contract that is being bought with an FHA mortgage is the amount of money the seller is willing to spend to make repairs to the property that are mandatory for issuance of an FHA mortgage. This cost in my market is usually written for up to $ 300.
Your realtor is right about deducting this 3 percent as an expense to sale. But ask your realtor if adding this 3 percent to the purchase price is customary in your market. I suppose it all boils down to how desperate you are to selling. Also, be careful the added 3 percent does not price your condo above the appraisal price or else the buyers’ won’t be able to get an FHA loan unless they are willing to pay the extra above the appraisal.

Bank of England
The Bank of England (formally the Governor and Company of the Bank of England) is (despite its name) the central bank of the whole of the United Kingdom and is the model on which most modern, large central banks have been based. It was established in 1694 to act as the English Government’s banker, and to this day it still acts as the banker for HM Government. The Bank was privately owned and operated from its foundation in 1694 until it was nationalised in 1946. In 1997 it became an independent public organisation, wholly-owned by Government, with independence in setting monetary policy.
The Bank has a monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales, although not in Scotland or Northern Ireland. The Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee has devolved responsibility for managing the monetary policy of the country. The Treasury has reserve powers to give orders to the committee "if they are required in the public interest and by extreme economic circumstances" but such orders must be endorsed by Parliament within 28 days.
The Bank’s headquarters has been located in London’s main financial district, the City of London, on Threadneedle Street, since 1734. It is sometimes known by the metonym The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street or simply The Old Lady. The current Governor of the Bank of England is Mervyn King, who took over on 30 June 2003 from Sir Edward George. As well as the London offices, the Bank of England also has secondary offices on King Street in Leeds.
