    It would normally only be a couple of days, maybe tomorrow ask the broker to get the Halifax to re-send it, it looks like the original may have gone astray

    It would take the broker 5 minutes to send you the electronic copy by e-mail, maybe ask for this to put your mind at rest.

    All the best

    They are emailed to say the offer has been issued, which allows them to have a PDF copy for their records. This isn't the same as the solicitors copy but should give you the reassurance you seek.

    I got an email today, 11.59.

    Valuation done yesterday. Email today to say valuation satisfactory.

    Another email, also 11.59, to say offer issued.

    12.19, offer downloaded from Halifax Online, copy in client file and also emailed to client.

    If I'd checked my emails a bit quicker, it wouldn't have taken as long as that!
