Mortgage Process

Hi,

I have had a decision accepted in principle with Nationwide, I am currently a customer of theres and am currently in the process of buying a new build.

I have completed the application online myself, and sent off documents wage slips etc to them already which have been received.

My question really is online it states my application is not complete, now I have gone through the process and completed the mortage I want, however when I check the key facts it states the mortgage will start in July, if I process to the next stage. The house we are buying (a new build) wont be ready until November so I choose not to accept and process. Is this the right thing to do or do I need to speak to them?

    Also, the mortgage offer you receive will be valid for a few months :) our offer which we got last week is valid until November so fingers crossed yours should remain valid until your house is ready :)

    We enquired about that and they said 6 months is the valid timeframe currently which should be safe for us.
