Kensington Mortgage application timescale

  • Hello, everyone,

    I have been made redundant but have enough money to cover my family’s expenses for six months. We are close to exchanging contracts, and I have just received a mortgage offer. Does anyone know if Kensington requests payslips or bank statements for a final check during exchange or completion?

    I’m certainly no expert but I think you’re obligated to inform them of a change in circumstances as you have not yet completed.
  • Was just wondering if anyone could share positive story of being accepted with bounced direct debits. 
    Joint application husbands bank statements are perfect no concern, but I have 3 bounced direct debits. Our broker is confident he can still get us approved but feeling worried about it now we’re onto the official application. Thanks

    Do you have an update @flowergirls_2618? Submitting my app tomorrow and feel nervous as a DD on 2nd Jan took me over my small OD limit for a couple hours until a standing order cleared. The direct debits didn’t bounce and I was back in the positive by 6am. Just the case that the payments coming out were before the payment coming in. Stressing!!
