Timelines shown are an average.
Many cases will zip through and pull down the average on the ones that get stuck.
The timelines are of no value to you if you have one of the 'stuck' cases.I am a Mortgage Broker

I recently applied for a mortgage through a broker- it was suggested that Santander were one of the ones with a longer processing time- around 8 weeks- though I have heard of some people waiting more like 12 weeks for a response. Don't know if that helps?0

Hi,
Ive got my mortgage offer through santander and used a broker
10/2 - application submitted
11/2 - mortgage offered subject to valuation
18/2 - valuation
19/2 - full mortgage offer.
very quick with me and I expected it to take around 4 weeks.
if it via a broker on the MATS system they are updated via email every time it progresses to the next stage.Debt Free September 2018 :j0 -

I have just had an email from my broker saying the my Abbey/Santander has just been offered today.
I applied on 20/02 so effectively two weeks. However, my valuation was delayed by 1 week! So could have been quicker.0 -

Ask your broker if hes using the MATS system. If he is he should know where it is. It lists what stage it is at and puts a tick next to each section when complete.Debt Free September 2018 :j0 -
