    Getting very antsy with HSBC here. I've called them every day for them to tell me my application hasn't arrived.

    Today, they said it had and they'll "contact me" to let me know how it goes.

    Twice today my phone rang for about 2 rings before stopping and the number is from HSBC (their outbound 0800 number...). Both times I've missed it and there's no message. It's driving me nuts! Are they toying with me?

    When I called back I was told that it's received and they'll contact me "if they have any questions" arrrrrgh!

    Exchanged today and completion is set for the 2nd week of September

    I'm pleased for you. I completed on Friday and am just as excited ;-) My mortgage offer with Leeds did not take as long as yours. It took two and a half weeks from full application.

    So i've been reading everyone's posts while i wait for my mortgage to go through. Our valuation was carried out yesterday and we received the following text last night

    We are delighted to inform you that we have now issued a formal mortgage offer. We look forward to completing based on this offer.

    After the excitement we're now worried that maybe theres a catch and we might have jumped the gun with the excitement.
  • Almost ten weeks in, still going strong...

    13th June - Offer on property accepted, Solicitors appointed
    19th June - AIP received
    20th June - Application made to Halifax
    3rd July - Valuation completed (Halifax/Colleys)
    11th July - Searches and enquiries made
    20th July - Solicitors struck off Halifax's panel
    22nd July - New Solicitors appointed, case re-started
    23rd July - Received searches transferred to new solicitors

    Yet to exchange and complete... Sofa should be arriving this week, no house to put it in. We thought we'd be well in by now!! In this day and age with the technology we have, slightly amazed a process can take this long!

    I got an AIP from Natwest on 1/8 made full application on 8/8 ( oth through broker ), had a query today regarding my middle name and waiting to see, i cant stand the waiting :(

    is applying through a broker to natwest cheaper than applying directly to nattiest. I bank with them and was wondering which was the best method of applying.

    thanks
