Received a text this morning " we've received the valuation report for your mortgage application . We will be in touch if we need any more information" . So what now? How long am I looking at now from this point. Everything is waiting on this, completing a week from today!!.... or am I?0

Does anyone have any idea what happens with the CashBack for nationwide, like how it gets paid etc.
Broker tells me that the cash back money is given by the lender to your solicitors, along with the mortgage amount approved.
I think in some cases the cashback amount is then essentially deducted from the solicitors charge to you, so your solicitor fee is reduced by the same amount as the cash back0 -

Buyer was turned down for their mortgage and is now apparently going to borrow the money from their employer, so now I'm stressing about that instead of my own mortgage!0 -
Hi all,
Our Valuation was done on 14/08/15, still waiting to hear back.
The last time we went through this process (failed purchase) took a week so hoping to get some news today or tomorrow, fingers crossedSealed Pot Challenge - #462

Our valuation is booked for 10am tomorrow. Found out via selling estate agent seemed a bit !!!!ed that I had rang again to ask0

Our valuation is between 11am and 3pm, hopefully the former!0

I have been lurking but thought I would post my timescale in case it helps anyone out.
We applied for our mortgage through a broker to Halifax
21/07 - DIP given
29/07 - Offer made on property
30/07 - full application submitted with passports and wageslips
17/08 - valuation/survey booked
19/08 - Halifax requested evidence of deposit
20/08 - Mortgage offer confirmed
good luck to everyone waiting on theirs!0 -
I'm unbelievably nervous!! How are u James? Lol
I'm a mixture of nerves, excitement and impatience. It feels like it is really dragging at the moment. I get the feeling I will be unlucky when it comes to timing. I think they'll take their time and I'll be waiting until late next week for a response (when I want to know by Saturday!)
I've given the developers a nudge to send over the contracts so hopefully that should be done tomorrow. Hoping afterwards the searches don't take too long as I'd like to exchange in the next week or so to enable me to give notice on my rented property.0
