Credit Report Looked at by Building Society

Hi,

why would Kent Reliance (the BS I have applied for a mortgage with through broker) look at my credit report every monday?
so far they searched it on 29th sept, 6th Oct, 13th Oct
I have had an offer in principle last week on 6th Oct so why are they looking again the following week??

all this 'snooping' makes me feel 'stalked', I thought that would be it now until they have done the valuation and are ready to pay me the money?

    I did call them,
    was waiting for mortgage advisor to get back to me

    he did say this is 'unusual' as usually they do no more than 2 searches, he will ask them.

    Is one a credit check for the DIP, another a credit check for the app and another an ID check?

    There could be a few reasons although it is uncommon - the best people to ask for anything like this is the lender.

    I would be more concerned that you feel need to constantly monitor your report. As no one else actually cares. A lender will merely perform as many checks as it needs to.
