Hi Everyone, myself and my GF were both delighted (and shocked) that both Halifax and NW came back with pass marks, we now have a DIP with NW.

My Financial Advisor has said that NW are usually good in that they don't reverse their decisions unless they have good reason, so not including any unforeseen circumstances, we should be OK when we submit the full application.

Have you heard/experienced similar?

Are NW quite quick with their applications?

I read on another thread about being in overdraft affecting the application? Is this the case? I'm a big user of my overdraft and now I'm worried!

Keep going, you will get there!

  • To give you a timeline with NW for us:

    DIP Friday 30th Jan
    Full Application Saturday 31st Jan
    Documents reviewed and validated Monday 2nd Feb
    Valuation Booked for Wednesday 4th.

    Customer care manager says she'll be calling me on Weds/Thurs with outcome.

    I'm seriously impressed so far :) (This was with a "Accept" status on Dip)

    That's good to hear, thanks!

    Just hope my overdraft use doesn't impact us!

    Keep going, you will get there!

    I can't give you a time frame on how fast things progressed really as we had multiple issues on our case. But if you're worried about this then you need not. I had a year old discharged Debt Relief Order and a couple defaults still on my file when our DIP was accepted and we were successful in obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide.
  • Just catching up, thanks for everyone replies.

    Had our next meeting with our Mortgage Advisor today,

    Just waiting on one missing payslip and we are good to go.

    In terms of my overdraft question, my advisor has no concerns which is great.

    Keep going, you will get there!
