That's why you haven't got an emailed copy then. Everyone is waiting for the post!
Saying which, I'm sure our "SSA" newbuild troubleshooter has got us a faxed copy of an offer when we needed it on a newbuild paper case.I am a mortgage broker.

Nat West
27/2 AIP
28/2 Application made
3/3 documents sent to Nat West
10/3 spoke to MB - won't have any news until 14/3
I thought Nat West were quick!!!!
Well today got an email from MB saying Nat West require my bank statement form 28/12/13 - 02/01/14 ???? thats 4 days missing. Nat West underwriting really can't be on the ball, my Santander bank statement was on 2 pages, I had no transactions between these dates. Doh!
MB explained this to them.
Over 2 weeks now since application was put and I am still none the wiser.
Its the weekend now and it really annoying me now.

Im the same i have 4 weeks on monday to move in date and still have no agreement from natwest.:mad:
Broker told me yesterday that the homebuyers report has come back to natwest from their surveyors who look at it and they are happy with it. So we should get our offer by wednesday/thursday. to be fair to natwest they have always said to me 4-6 weeks and its been nearly 4 - if ive not got it by the end of next week then ill really be panicking! Ill let you know when i get it.0 -

At the moment, it is taking them three working days to issue an application number after a case is submitted.
Then, it takes them several days to undewrite the case and instruct the valuer.
Our last case;-
App date 23/2
BDM got us app number 25/2
All docs faxed 25/5
App number provided by usual email 26/2
Told case would be underwritten by Fri 28/2 - not achieved
Asked NatWest to instruct valuer at our risk 28/2 as not yet underwritten
Valuer instructed 3/3
Valuation done 6/3
Surveyor off sick and return of report delayed until 11/3
Offer issued 12/3.
Seventeen days is not great and it could have been done more quickly IMHO.I am a mortgage broker.

full mortgage application submitted this afternoon with Halifax.
Our broker and another client had excellent luck with them this week so fingers crossed we're the same.
Very nervous!0 -
