how long from AIP

Options
Sorry this is probably a "how long is a piece of string..." question.

From receiving an agreement in principle how long does it take for the full mortgage offer ?

Thanks in advance and a Happy New Year :beer:
2013 - Finally got the house we' ve worked so hard to get......now it's a life of diy and no money....couldn't be happier 😊
2020 - mortgage free target set 8 years and counting 🎯
Even the longest walks start with one small step....get your boots on.

    Have you submitted the full application?

    It will depend on lenderturnaround times, case complexity, documents provided amongst other things.

    Which lender is it? Are you using a broker?

    Might help if you post which lender you are using
  • We're using a broker and the lender is Accord/Yorkshire Building Society.
    We got the AIP on Dec 21st so that's as far as we've got with the Christmas break.

    Accord are not the easiest to deal with.

    Why were they recommended to you?

  • I got my AIP with YBS on the 29th Nov, full application went on the 30th, and I got my formal offer after the valuation on the 19th Dec. I had to send extra documents to explain transactions on my bank statement so think it took a bit longer than it could have done!
    Saved for a house deposit! :j Now for a new kitchen! :D

    I used ybs and had an offer one week after full application.
  • I sent my application in with supporting documentation on the 20th. I got a text the next day saying they had approved my application. I thnk it all depends on the lender, how complicated your circumstances are and mortgage affordability. Our lender is First Direct.
