Do banks check your income and job status as they make progress…

That's a nice plan. I would add the extra toilet bowl in the main bathroom mainly for convenience. I wouldn't extend the ensuite, I would leave as is because it…

Just be careful as even if they give you 6 months they keep asking the latest pay slip to make sure and normally it's ok if you changed job but…
