Hey everyone, how long did everyone take from valuation to offer? I’m so worried it’s not going to go through but we had our valuation yesterday 🤞🏼0

8 weeks ago we applied, I feel like we're being strung along. Submitted all they've requested, and explained every query they've asked about the microscopic details of our finances. They go silent for a week or more, then request a statement I've already given them? - Rinse repeat.
Anyone else had this sort of experience? Our sellers are threatening to ditch us, so we're getting a lot of pressure, frankly, I don't blame them. Trussle said the whole process would take 15 days... Hard to know who is to blame, I suspect both.
Just had to appoint a conveyancer without having the mortgage agreed, to show we're committed. I'd like to ditch Trussle and Kensington but we're too far down the line.
