thats what i thought GMS - i was surprised i passed the soft search - and since our broker has told me categorically that i have passed the "hard credit check" (i have questioned this several times) im hoping there arent just telling me what i want to hear.
clinging onto the fact that they wouldnt charge & set a valuation date if they have seen my credit score.0 -

I don't believe you are GMS.

Thanks everyone for advice/information
Just had the brokers on saying Halifax have assesed me & valuation is booked for tomorrow.
All they have asked for is a standard letter from my employer to confirm i worked there still which isnt a problem.
Asked her if anythin else is likely to be asked for & she said no - they just need this standard letter & valuation to be ok so fingers crossed - still not 100% sure - but time will tell0 -
just to update you guys - i recieved my mortgage offer this morning from the halifax...made up!!!
thanks for all the help everyone!!0 -
This fills me with confidence! I have 1 late payment, only a month on my credit card! It was paid as soon as I knew but I havebeen panicing that I may be declined when our app goes in on Monday - tense times!0
