We've been waiting for a mortgage offer for about a month or more. Unfortunately nobody will provide you underwriters contact. We have applied for DIP on 27th of March. We are completing today or tomorrow. So this is approximately how long the whole process takes. (and this is an easy case, as we have a new built)***Twins mummy***0

this is the timescale we applied mortgage with Santander, i am self employed
28th May:full application
1st June: case with underwriters
7th June: case chosen for audit
15 June:offer received via Emal.
considering the case was held for audit for one week, i am very happy for the timescale. the valuation was a drive by, as it is a almost new building.0 -
First mortgage applied for on 25/05/16
Survey done 16/06/16
Came back down valued by £25,000 which nobody thinks is correct as its a five year old development, immaculate condition in a well sought after area in London.
I was advised to apply for a different mortgage to see what a different surveyor thinks!
Application submitted today here we go again....0 -
Well we are on a slow moving process due to royal mail loosing our paperwork grrr
offer accepted 28/5/15
application done 6/6/15
we then received our paperwork to fill in and send back on 10/6/16 we sent our paperwork back the following day and royal mail seemed to missplace it any way Underwriters now have our paperwork so are looking through our finances hopefully this will be ok and not take long and they will instruct a valuation and the full building survey we have asked for as an extra.
Really dont want to loose this house so fingers crossed it all goes through0 -

We were due to remortgage and I eventually decided to go with Nationwide as I wasn't happy with the options offered by our broker (and picking the products with the highest commission). We also bank with Nationwide for our joint account and savings so thought it would be good with cashback. We were looking for a 5 year fix.
Thursday 16th June - applied online in the evening and accepted. Apparently no physical valuation required based on the information provided, so house was valued at my desired figure and we achieved 58%. Is that normal?!
Friday 17th June - submitted requested evidence via email, 3 months payslips for each of us. Online tracking page updated. Allocated solicitor.
Friday 17th June - Completed solicitor remortgaging pack online and printed out/signed
Saturday 18th June - posted completed conveyancing pack via recorded post
Going quickly so far and very happy with service. I took the 'no advice' option as I was happy with our credit history and therefore applied online. Being kept up to date with texts and emails throughout
