Santander underwriter timescale

We applied for mortgage with Santander on Monday and was approved pending underwriters being happy with documents. They haven't asked for too much as I've been with them for several years and porting mortgage over, adding husband on and increasing amount so basically just proof income they've asked for at minute. How long approximately does it take for full application approval to be given?

    We went through a broker all we had was that our mortgage was accepted as long as valuation was ok. The valuation was booked for 1st june then broker rang two days later saying full mortgage offer and then Saturday gone received offer through the post.

    Yeah that's what we've done, it was accepted as long as all documents sent and valuation so our broker sent documents over that night amd said they haven't asked for much with porting then after that will go for valuation so hopefully go through quick
