First Time Buyer with Natwest Advice

Hi

My name is Jonathan and I have had an offer accepted on a 2 bed massionette with my Girlfriend

However we have gone with Natwest for the mortgage and getting to the stage of arranging a survey is taking much longer than we thought.

The offer was made on Easter Saturday. Applied for Mortgage on the Tuesday after and now am still waiting on Natwest to sort out the Valuation and survey.

We are worried as the estate agent is asking us what is taking so long.

Any advice would be great!

    what did Natwest say when you asked them?
  • They are waiting on a form to be signed by my GF (not arrived at her house yet)

    I instructed them to arrange the survey and take the fee yesterday.

    Ring up this morning and they had no record of this! asked to do it again and they say around 48 hours to do anything so looking at Monday now!

    Estate agent is chasing daily :)
