Anyone want to join me? Awaiting Mortgage decision...

lesuttle

Offer accepted 01/02/18
Appointed solicitor 04/02/18
Mortgage application submitted (through Habito, who so far have been amazing - I've got a referral code for £100 if you go through them if anyone wants!) 05/02/18
Solicitor papers received 05/02/18
Valuation survey booked 06/02/18
Solicitor papers completed and posted back 06/02/18
Valuation survey completed 07/02/18
Solicitors in receipt of completed papers 07/02/18

Now awaiting for further updates. Is it foolish to think that because it's been rather quick so far, that we will keep this momentum? (we're FTB and the house we're moving into is vacant possession!)

Got our mortgage offer through today - hoorah!

From our first viewing the process has taken less than 2 weeks which I'm gob smacked about! I think this has a lot to do with our broker making us prepare all potential documents before we even began looking at properties. Hoping the solicitors won't slow things down too much now..

Here's my updated timeline:

First viewing - 26/01/2019
Second viewing - 28/01/2019
DIP from TSB - 28/01/2019
Offer made and accepted - 28/01/2019 (it was a busy day..!)
Solicitor confirmed and details swapped with EA and broker - 31/01/2019
Official mortgage application submitted - 31/01/2019
Lender valuation booked - 01/02/2019
Lender valuation conducted - 04/02/2019
Lender valuation confirmed - 05/02/2019
Official mortgage offer through! - 07/02/2019

I instructed the solicitor today and got her out off office until Monday lol. I dout very much the will have the paperwork before! I’m assuming the mortgage company will send the paperwork to them :rotfl::rotfl:

We should keep updating. Our case is quite straight forward, transfer of equity no searches or anything like that. Just redeem old account and take out new account!

I phoned halifax today for an update as my case has been in underwriting for 2 days now. I was told the reason it went in was because i was approved for 140k when i applied for 160k.. Our earnings show 160k but im just wondering did the computer maybe not pick up on our cars @ £4.500 per year x 4.5 as my business pays for them and they knew that when agreeing mip?

We found out 2moro but would asvise asap if possible.

Am so jealous of all of you getting your offers I appear to be on the longest wait for mortgage offer ever.

Viewed house 17th November 2018
Offer accepted verbally pending some documents 20th November
Offer formally accepted 3rd december
mortgage application submitted 14th december (2nd attempt, as broker messed up first one - found a mortgage that wasnt going to be suitable)
valuation 19th december
mortgage company started underwriting properly on 14th january (we had to wait for my partners bank to change his address for proof of ID - he moved into my house end of November, bank took 3 attempts to change it)
mortgage company came back with questions 21st Jan, 25th Jan, 7th Feb
All of solicitor side is done, just waiting for mortgage offer.

Every time we give them the information they ask for they come back with more questions.

Getting really fed up now, especially as I have the estate agent and solicitor ringing me every other day for an update and some of the questions the mortgage company are asking they could have asked back in December (questions about our wage slips) :mad::mad::mad:

Hi,

I am waiting for a mortgage offer from Barclays and the wait is killing me!! This is my timeline so far:

DIP: 01/02/19
Full application submitted through broker: 04/02/19
Valuation booked: 05/02/19
Valuation took place: 07/02/19

I am a bit surprised that no hard check has been made yet... Only a soft check when I did the DIP...
So stressful! Anyone has any experience with Barclays recently?
Good luck to everyone!
