  • 22/1 AIP from broker
    21/2 first viewing
    23/2 second viewing
    24/2 Offer made and accepted
    26/2 Mortgage application put in with broker
    28/2 Solicitors ready to go and mortgage application is with Santander

    I keep feeling like this can't be real, we have been working towards this for so long. I keep trying to focus on the takeaway pizza and champagne we will have on moving no day. No celebrations until then......

    I hate waiting so much!!!

    I submitted an application (30% LTV) to NatWest last weekend, faxed the packaging requirements on Tuesday (when they finally provided the application number) and I'm still waiting for the underwriting to be done and valuer instructed.

    I'd say our chances of a valuation being done next week are getting slimmer, assuming the valuer instruction is issued on Monday.

    growing increasingly impatient with our broker now. Full application was put in to Santander on 14/02. According to the int website we should have had ours back last week. Broker confirmed it was with the underwriters last Tuesday. Other people who put applications in AFTER us have has valuation dates.

    Rang the broker again today but the receptionist said 'he is not in work today'.

    I have also had the vendors EA on the phone asking ME for an update.

    The service has seemed to slip a LOT since we paid the brokers fee. It was all very promped and on the ball up until then of course.

    Stressed.

    Totally agree with you. We've been waiting since last Wednesday with Santander. Agonising.

    Valuation booked for 05/03 :D

    Developer phoned today, the person doing the valuation has been to the site before so doesn't foresee any issues :)
    As it's a new build we have our home demo booked in for the 18th, just praying we exchange before then!
