Thanks for the response, but do you have any specific recommendations on lenders who tend to be a cut above the rest when it comes to processing applications?

If you'd told me "plenty of lenders are efficient" before I started looking for a mortgage, I think I still would have gone for Woolwich anyway, assuming they were included in your group of plenty

Due to family circumstances I really cant afford another lender spending 8 weeks on 'due diligence' only to turn round and reject it, especially as if they look at my income over the past 3 years, and the deposit, the mortgage really is a no-brainer in terms of risk

Thanks

Unfortunately it will depend on two things:

1) Your exact circumstances
2) Current lender service levels

So whilst last week lender A may have been good, this week they may be bad due to withdrawing a deal and becoming overwhelmed by applications.

It is not an exact science, as things are constantly changing

However, Woolwich have always had a poor reputation for servicing and processing
