  • It may help to put this in to proprotion if I explain that at the moment most lenders quote 48 hours to review any correspondence after it arrives with the.

    No idea which lender you are with, so can't be more specific.

    Employee reference "sent on Tuesday" - they probably haven't even read it yet, once all docs are with the lender they will present complete file to underwriting queue (again probably 48 hours in the queue).

    My guess - offer mid next week.

    Stop fretting - go for a beer !
