    Trying to get a mortgage when your self-employed is a nightmare!
    Anyway we have 60% deposit, need to borrow at least 4x profit, so affordability borderline I suppose.

    Valuation stage - nothing like the personal touch!
    13/2 Then got a phone call to say valuation booked for 19/2
    Now more waiting - wish I had a fast forward button!

  • Just chased up our MA... the valuation was Monday and he said we would hear something today so he's going to speak to our lender.


    The waiting is horrible :(


    Going to negotiate on fixtures and fittings with the seller tonight and look round the house so it would be nice if we had some good news!

    It's with Halifax, I'm hoping for a positive response today......

    Halifax requested my January pay slip today (they had Oct/Nov/Dec but I didn't have Jan when I submitted paperwork). MA told me they have all the paperwork now and that they 'don't envisage' any problems but that its going to be next week when we hear something.

    Had hoped to know before the weekend, but the MA did say Halifax are swamped at the moment so nothing to worry about.....

    Easy for them to say!
