  • OK so today was a bit stressful after chasing MB as was expecting to have offer this week he finds out they want a copy of employment contract as its <6 months since I started new job - typical as today I was really busy at work and not in office but I managed to email my contract through and eventually MB gives the good news that offer should be received on Monday (6th March) and fingers crossed he wants to book in meeting to sign docs

    Feeling a bit less stressed now.

    08 Feb - Offer accepted
    09 Feb - Solicitor instructed
    10 Feb - MB meeting
    13 Feb - Survey done (full survey - for our purposes)
    15 Feb - MIP done

    20 Feb - Valuation of residential property
    20 Feb - Request for more info from underwriters
    22 Feb - Valuation of BTL property
    23 Feb - Request for more info from underwriters
    03 Mar - Request for more info from underwriters

    Anyone dealing with L&C and Kensington who can give me an idea about timescales please? We have a DIP and they did a credit search a week ago but heard nothing since we applied 2 weeks ago on 20th Feb. We are buying a new build and they have given us 4 weeks... thank you!

  • Hi all

    Long time lurker - this thread has proved very useful!

    Here is our timeline (currently renting)

    10/2: Found a house literally up the road that looked perfect (its empty too bonus!)
    10/2 Got a viewing that evening (loved it)
    12/2: Viewed in daytime - still loved it
    17/2: Third viewing (with mother in law as she is gifting deposit)
    17/2: Same day saw mortgage broker - got a DIP with Santander
    17/2: Estate agents called asking if we'd like to submit an offer - offered 10k less - ten minutes later got a call saying they accepted!
    24/2: Submitted all details for mortgage (95% LTV) to MB / instructed solicitors
    3/3: Checked credit score solicitors have run a check? (Is this normal?)
    4/3: Received letter from solicitors saying the gifted letter needs doing again!!!! Santander need in writing that my MIL will not reside at the property (sigh) - also a bit miffed as its our first correspondence and they have put in regards to purchasing No 1 XXXX Street..............first off we are buying No 10 - secondly there isn't even a number 1 on the street!

    Husband will drop off the new amended gifted letter at the solicitors and MB tomorrow, hoping to hear something soon as it is killing me
