Does Clydesdale source data from Experian?
Have you looked at the other versions of your credit file?I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Yeah I googled around and found Clydedale uses Experian, I also ran another one from ClearScore which was identical in content but with a lower but still excellent score. My broker thinks it's because i have an Islamic mortgage and somehow that's confusing them, but they've seen the paperwork for that already and still doesn't account for these credit card issues they're going on about.0

Clear score is connected to Experian I thought? Sign up with Noddle which is free (call credit) and google free equifax report and sign up as a few of our agreements aren’t on Experian but on equifax / Noddle and I’m sure Clydesdale will have access to other CRA’s?0

AIP - Halifax 20/08
Reserved New Build: 8/9/18
Full Mortgage Application sent via Broker:1/10/18 - Nationwide Build Society
5/10/18 - valuation carried out!!!
We didn’t even know our valuation had been organised! Our sales rep for the building company emailed to let me know!
We didn’t get a text from nationwide like what others have said, so we thought they hadn’t done anything with our application yet. I’m so pleased it’s been complete. Hopefully we have a decision by next week!0 -
Still not heared anything back. Santander can go to hell.:mad:0

We got our Santander mortgage in two weeks! I feel your pain though, still waiting for the Clydesdale one 😱0

I'm not 100% on our timescale but reserved our house on 1st september so mortgage application would have been not too long after that and we are still waiting. After a couple of weeks I had to show evidence of our child tax credits because I received an extra payment in August on my bank statement. Then had an email from broker last monday which said the valuation was done on 28th September and should hear in a couple of days, nothing since. I've emailed asking for an update, it's ridiculously long and nothing else can happen now till we have the offer. Also with Santander. Just waiting.0 -
MERFE that is crazy! They are taking the !!!!! I thought I was the only. Double check on there website. It is giving me more information than our broker. We put ours in on the 11sept a valuation done a few days later. But on on the 24th they asked us for more information I sent it straight away and we went to the back of the queue! Still waiting...our broker said wait until this Friday. However on their website it says they are looking at application reviews on the 25 and yesterday it said the 24th. Therefore we should have a answer but still nothing! I called today but he went home early and isn’t back until Thursday agh!!!! I just hope the wait is worth it to be honest and not in vain.0

Viewing, offer, & offer accepted w/c 24/09/18
Met mortgage advisor + had DIP from Clydesdale w/c 1/10/18.
Now expecting to wait 3-4 weeks for full mortgage application to conclude.
Somehow have to put the property our of my mind until there is more certainty, argh!
Tiny update: a valuation was instructed, & booked, the same day that we had our DIP. That valuation is happening tomorrow. I’m assuming the underwriter won’t start until after a successful valuation, so still expecting a few weeks (or more) until full mortgage decision.Starting debt (Aug 2018) £17,900
Debt free September 20210 -
My timeline so far
25/07 DIP received from Nationwide
28/07 Reservation fee paid to builder
31/07 Full application submitted to Nationwide
01/08 Help to Buy application submitted
08/08 HTB declined due to my DIP being for more than the price of the house, therefore I can afford the house without the need for HTB.
13/08 Full application submitted to Clydesdale
14/08 Proof of deposit requested and sent
15/08 Valuation fee paid to Clydesdale
06/09 Valuation done and sent to Clydesdale
10/09 Confirmation of valuation sent to me, amounts all tie in and match what was offered
14/09 Formal offer received
Purchase fell through so back to square one.
01/10 Verbal offer accepted
01/10 New details given to Clydesdale for reassessment
08/10 Broker confirmed that Clydesdale will be instructing a new valuation
I was under the impression that a valuation isn't required in Scotland if there's a valid home report? My home report is dated 13th Sept and I offered the home report value on 1st Oct?
Hoping for a move in date in 6 weeks so fingers crossed Clydesdale hurry up!0
