    They've only asked for one document?

    Standard SO packaging for our cases is;-

    signed use of personal info form
    direct debit
    signed memorandum of sale
    proof of deposit/gift
    proof of rent
    ID/POR
    latest three months' payslips
    latest three months' bank statements
    fees.

    We upload this as soon as we submit the application in every case.

    Sorry my mistake, so far only 1 extra document was requested. all above was already provided.
  • We completed with Leeds in May, the only additional info they asked us for was proof that we had paid rent over the past 12 months (joint bank account statements). Despite the many horror stories about Leeds it was pretty plain sailing for us...no doubt thanks to our broker :beer:

    thank you for your reply, can you let me know how long it took from the date of actual application submission to completion (not from DIP)

    thank you

    The only meaningful measure is application to offer.

    Completion is a combination of so many non-mortgage related issues it makes comparison meaningless.

    A Leeds application to offer in three weeks or less is pretty reasonable IMHO.
