Natwest full application time scale

Vok_2

Hi all, how is everybody doing?

My update so far:
11/03/15 - offer accepted on house 1 and mortgage application sent off to Natwest.
Fast forward to 07/04/15 - Got Natwest mortgage application approved subject to valuation
08/04/15 - Purchase fell through as seller refused to give access for Homebuyer survey to be carried out.
11/04/15 - viewed house no. 2 and didn't like it as much as house no. 1 (still grieving from losing my dream house and just comparing everything I see to it)
21/04/15 - house no. 2 was reduced by 7k so I booked to view it again and took a friend with me; and put in an offer.
22/04/15 - offer accepted. Informed bank of new property details
27/04/15 - mortgage approved subject to valuation. Valuation instructed
28/04/15 - valuation carried out
30/04/15 - waiting to hear back 💃💃💃💃 (don't want to get too excited, lol)

That's good to hear Vok! Really hope this new place comes through for you although sorry to hear it's not as nice as the first one. Perhaps there was a massive hole in the floor in the first one and the roof was about to cave in (keep telling yourself that!)

We exchanged on Tuesday, and completion is May 11th. Just over two months from offer to completion in the end!

Had a call from estate agents to say valuation will be done anytime from now. Is that a good sign please? We are applying with natwest. Ftb and applying through a broker
