Anyone want to join me? Awaiting Mortgage decision...

Hello all,

A quick recap of my previous post:

"I'm a first time buyer, and have reserved a 4 bed 3 floor semi detached Persimmon new build. Persimmon seem to be a bit pushy, aiming for exchange of contracts within 35 days of Authority to Proceed from Help to Buy, leaving me really anxious that the property will fall through if the mortgage doesn't come through in time.
Property price £185,995, using Help to Buy Wales equity loan scheme (20% loan + my 5% deposit). Applied for 75% LTV mortgage with Nationwide, through a broker (working in the medical field leaves me with a string of temporary contracts, so I wanted a specialist medical financial adviser on my side).
Relatively simple case: FTB, mortgage multiplier x3.2, new build with Help to Buy, Experian score 992. Hoping everything will progress well."

30/10 - Plot reserved
09/11 - Help to Buy application sent
10/11 - DIP approved, Full application submitted, Payslip requested and sent, Valuation fee taken, Text received acknowledging receipt of application
16/11 - Solicitor instructed, Text received informing valuation booked for 19/11
17/11 - Help to Buy Authority to Proceed received
19/11 - Valuation completed, Nationwide ask for scan of payslip because initial copy submitted using phone scanner app (you can barely tell, but it's their money at the end of the day)
20/11 - Text received informing valuation approved, formal scan of payslip sent
27/11 - Payslip reviewed, Text received saying formal mortgage offer issued via post, PDF of offer obtained through broker

17 days (13 working days) between application and offer, and it would probably have been a week shorter than that if we had sent the payslip in the right format to begin with!

Really pleased, hope all goes well for everyone still waiting
