Guess no more countrywide as they will have a wider panel.

It says on there for all new applications from 29th Aug. When does the application process start? Is this when you apply for the full mortgage or is it when you decide you want to go ahead take out the mortgage?

I'd be interested to know the answer of manutd99's question, although it does say "for mortgages completed on or after 29th august"

Surely 'completed' doesn't mean when the process was started?

It doesn't say for "mortgages completed", it says for "mortgage applications completed".

I do not think it means the sale completes on the 29th or later. I think it means that the application form is filled in and lodged with HSBC.
