    Hi

    To be honest there isn't any point in any one here speculating - we don't know the ins and outs of your circumstances.

    At the end of the day they will either approve or decline you.

    I've no idea - sorry, not trying to be blunt it's just we don't know which lender it was, whether the arrangement fee is for the mortgage or the valuation, etc.
    It's a frustrating process but you'll just have to wait and see what they do.

    which lender is it by the way?

    What does your credit file say?

    Why do you think the underwriters are being a nightmare?

    They all are at the minute! but leeds are flexible, so why the stressing?
