  • Hi all,

    Joining in to ease the stress of all the waiting

    AIP - 17/08
    Viewed property - 05/09
    Offered - 06/09
    2nd offer - 07/09
    Accepted - 08/09
    Solicitors appointed - 10/09
    Full mortgage application - 10/09
    Valuation booked for 17/09

    I really hate the waiting, I hope it gets easier, I’m a FTB on a new build so I hate to think what this is like in an actual chain!
  • AIP - 06/09
    Verbal offer made and accepted - 07/09
    Written offer made - 10/09
    Written offer accepted - 11/09
    Mortgage application made - 13/09

    Woohooooo! Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting ����
  • 7/9 Offer on house officially accepted (Scotland) and I cry because the broker's on holiday
    11/9 Agree a product with broker
    12/9 Submit application which is then referred
    13/9 AIP from Accord
    14/9 Documentation requested
    18/9 All documentation received by broker. Moment of panic due to my employment situation but broker gets Accord to agree to an exception
    21/9 Broker emails to say the offer has been made today.

    So far I have absolutely no complaints about Accord, they have been very quick and it looks like we're going to move house 28 days after the offer was accepted. Being in Scotland and having an existing Home Report helped but I'm still really impressed. We're moving!
  • Congratulations to everyone.

    I had a chat with our broker today and he has mentioned that everything is good to go but he hasnt sent the last few documents over but will be doing that this week. Just hoping for an offer asap - put my mind at ease.
  • Daughter & son in law timeline.

    Halifax AIP 8/9/18
    Full application Halifax 12/9/18
    Valuation Thursday 20/9/18
    Mortgage offer from Halifax 22/9/18

    Daughter had 2 satisfied defaults from 2013 & 2014 for £600 & £300.
    Thanks for all the help on here.
    We were going mad with the waiting & worrying.
    And reading all the posts really helped, especially as she had defaults & was worried sick.
    So for everybody worrying it was really very quick with the Halifax from valuation to mortgage offer about 2 days. Cheers. They are over the moon.
  • Here’s my recent experience with Nationwide (Through L&C)

    AIP – 10th August
    Offer accepted – 31st August
    Mortgage application – 10th September
    Valuation instructed – 10th September
    Valuation booked for – 11th September
    Text to say valuation received - 21st September
    Mortgage offer issued- 21st September

    Can’t really fault Nationwide or L&C, was a pretty positive experience all round.
