Nationwide application response time

Hi,
Yesterday morning (about 36 hours ago), I applied for a Nationwide loan after their soft-search system quoted me 9.9%.
The application status hasn't changed since I applied. When I log into their site, I see the same 'approved in principal' message that's been there since I applied. I'm concerned that they've rejected me, since I would have expected some feedback by now.
From your own experiences, how long has it taken for Nationwide to confirm or reject your loan application?
Thanks,
Fish

Hi,
Just wanted to update on this. I applied on Monday morning (14th) and received a letter approving the loan on the 16th. The letter stated that the funds had been issued, and amazingly, I had the funds in my account on the 17th.
The letter mentioned that I'd digitally signed the loan agreement, so I'm guessing that was why it was so quick. Also, I got the 9.9% rate that they had originally quoted me.
Thanks,

Good to hear and nice to see you returned to let us know the outcome, many don't unfortunately.0

Thanks for the update on this. I applied for a Nationwide loan a week ago and was offered a rate of 6.9%. However, I haven't heard a thing from them since and wondered if anyone else has experienced a similar delay? I may phone them in the morning but I'm nervous that they have now rejected me or something!0
