Hi

I've given my details to a broker who is looking into it all

Payments each month and outstanding

How long would it take for them to get back to me?

It's ONLY been since yesterday but was wondering how long it takes

Is the longer it is the worse the outcome?

I know it's only been a day so this is not a moan

I was just wondering how long it takes .

    This question is not easily answered.

    How long did the broker say it would take before they came back to you?

    As above, i usually do a factfind and give the clients a timescale of when i will come back to them.

    Sometimes its later that day other times its a week if i know i will need to speak to underwriters.

    Do you have any unusual circumstances? Adverse credit, irregular income, unusual property type etc?

    If the broker is doing their job thoroughly they will be checking for the best product then checking this fits criteria and affordability. This could take time.

    24 hours isn't long.

    Chase them if you are concerned
