Timescale - Offer before DIP ends

Hello

Just wondered if anyone could give me some advise please. Just worrying slightly and don't understand all the ins and outs of what actually happens next.....

We had our full application for a Nationwide mortgage last Friday :-) 9/8/13

We paid for the homebuyers report and Nationwide arranged the survey to be done on 3rd September, the vendor wasn't too happy with the wait so I phoned and we managed to get it moved to the 23rd August

So valuation/suryey is on Friday 23 but we go on holiday on Monday 26 and return on September 10.

Our DIP runs out on 17 September and therefore have to have the mortgage offer before this.

Our searches have already been done :-)

If the surveys come back ok whilst we are away do you see any problems getting the offer before our deadline?
