Can I spend my savings after submitting visa application? Pease help!

Dear forum memebers,
Today I am submitting my wife and her son's online visa applications (first time entry clearance). We are relying purely on our savings (which we've been holding for 6 months) for the financial requirements. I know that it can take up to 3 months before we hear for any decision. However, I am now presented with a rare opportunity to buy a property in the UK that I wanted for a while. And I need to act fast to get it.

Would it be unwise to spend our savings on that property before we get their visas approved?
Even though I am quite confident in their applications, I don't know what would happen if by some chance we get their visas refused. In case we decide to appeal (or start new applications) would we be required to prove that we still have our savings untouched? Please advise.

Preferably keep your savings untouched because during the application process the HO might contact your bank.
