  • I've been following this thread seeing fast responses with Natwest, which we hadn't had because of our broker!! I've joined and I'm looking for advice!

    31/04 - Viewed
    31/04 - Offered 1k under
    05/05 - Offer accepted
    06/06 - AIP with Broker with Nat west
    07/06 - solictors instructed
    11/06 - Full app to Nat west
    18/06 - Emailed broker for progress and he said all checks done he's awaiting the offer
    20/06 - emailed again and he said these things take a while
    I've had no survey come out of my card

    My impatience got the better of me today and I've now found out he hasn't sent any of the paperwork or sample signatures or direct debit mandate off! I am so furious!! Almost applied two weeks ago!!!

    Just got to wait for valuation im still in shock

    I would have thought the valuation would have been done first before your mortgage was accepted?

    Is this a bad thing now that they haven't done valuation before?

    hi guys, Receved our KEY fact paperwork today, we did our halifax applacation over 2 weeks ago with reeds rains our estate agent. They said we should know by today but not heard anything just this letter. Can the mortage still be declined if i have had this or is it just a thing they send everybody? We have passed the checks with the broker, and when they serched the market halifax came up, and we have applied to them. I'm stressed, and wanted to celebrate over the weekend but have a feeling in my gut something is going to happen. :-(

    The Key Facts sheets, we had them for a couple different lenders BEFORE we submitted the full application. Our broker showed us them to help decide which mortgage to apply for. So the key facts are papers that I guess everyone would see before applying, sorry!
