How about this for a quick mortgage offer

Options
Meeting with mortgage advisor 2pm Friday afternoon, got mortgage offer in the post this morning (Tuesday) - Barclays/Woolwich tracker.

Not quite the full picture, as the house (newbuild) had already been valued in a 'drive by' some months ago (for an application for a previous mortgage we didn't take out), but even so, can't knock'em!

Anyone beat that?

    My best is under 4 hours :) was particularly helpful as it was an application after pulling the plug on Nationwide who had messed me and my clients round for about 3 months!

    I would consider yours a good speed, average is about a week to 10 days, acceptable within 3 weeks.

    Well done, good effort

    The valuation was done on wednesday.

    Shame the purchase fell through... :mad:
