    Same date as my (latest) valuation... Good luck :)

    Thanks! Hoping they give me a mortgage offer by next weekend, I really hate waiting but there is nothing I can do at the moment. Waiting on my buyer to book a valuation report on my house - she is a cash buyer but said she wants one and was allegedly booked one yesterday so i will await my phone call! :money:

    Had my offer with Santandar through today! Took 5 working days. They have done valuation already (via computer system). I did worry i have overpaid for this property as it needs renovations done, but they matched the price. Have to book a survey now...

    6/7/17 - viewing
    7/7/17 - offer
    8/7/17 - second viewing/ offer accepted/ House SSTC
    14/7/17 - AIP Santander/ Full mortgage application sent off.
    21/7/17 - MORTGAGE OFFER!

    Was a lot quicker than i expected
