Best of luck, I am sure that you will hear soon! Its a dreadfully stressful process, I was pretty confident but was still literally losing sleep over it0 -
L&C broker going with Accord.
It's been awful, I don't know what brokers do to actually get paid. It's like asking to get blood out of a stone to get any update, they ask for completely irrelevant info and they are extremely slow.
18 days since full application and still no sign of anything. They did ask me recently what I spent the bank loan on I got a while ago. Ridiculous, irrelevant questions and a total time waste.0 -

Fingers crossed for you. I guess because we have more complex cases they have more to look into from a risk perspective so it will take a bit longer than high street lenders. Next time we’ll be one of the quick ones as our credit files will have healed0 -
Just out of curiosity why do people worry they wont get accepted?
Ive just applied for a mortgage but already have an A.I.P and have no bad credit and using a independant financial advisor to sort it out. I can borrow way more than ive asked for but i dont want to stretch myself.
Is there something i need to be prepared for? What can go wrong with them potentially?
Cheers0 -
