    Gutted! Heard from broker yesterday afternoon that mortgage came back as a no. I didn't really understand the reason he was giving tbh but the broker said it's ridiculous and not good enough reason so apparently sent it to the business development manager of santander? Has anyone experienced this and what was the outcome? I barely slept last night through worry and no idea what to do if comes back as a no again :( literally just want to cry!

    Another update from me.

    So far, full application submitted on Monday 4th and valuation instructed by Halifax straight away.

    Tuesday 5th - spoke to EA so I could find out when the valuation had been booked for and she advised they had not yet heard from the surveyors.

    Wed 6th - Rang Colleys this morning to ask when the valuation would be booked. They informed me they didn't have availability and had panelled the valuation out to Countrywide. Called Countrywide who confirmed they had received the request to value but informed me they didn't have availability until 23rd Sept and would be scheduling it for then!!! Called back Colleys and asked them to explain why they had panelled the valuation to a firm that didn't have availability??? Stayed on hold for 30mins whilst Colleys called around other firms to get a better availability date. Colleys have now passed to Connells to value who have confirmed they have availability for next week. Fingers crossed all goes to plan!

    Yippee I can actually join this thread!

    Our timeline... (by the way we were not in a rush as renting and saving)

    9/7 Went to visit house being renovated by cousin. Loved it.
    4/8 Took husband along. Also a big fan.
    29/8 House was valued by EA at £220,000, offered to us at £210,000.
    31/8 Decided to go for it, looked at MSE mortgage comparison and sought advice from London and Country. Found a conveyancer.
    5/9 AIP submitted and approved.
    6/9 Lenders have taken application and valuation fee.

    Now awaiting confirmed list of required documentation although L&C gave us a good idea what these would be so have started requesting statements from banks etc.

    It's happening!! :)
