Santander mortgage FTB

Yacol82

Hello as you can see my timescale above just to let you know still waiting for offer to come in post but my broker pull out pdf copy from Santander online system so I read it already and bit settled now, guys keep checking Santander intermediaries website with service level, so if they ask you for any additional documents and you submitted it then from that day check which applications Santander reviewing with underwriters so you will see when to expect update from Santander and when to chase with broker if you applied by one.
Good luck and you need to be patience, very stressful time 😬

Congrats to all who've had offers so far!
I applied for an Aip online on 8th June, submitted all my documents on 16th and have a telephone appointment with their mortgage advisor on Tuesday 20th. From there it should be passed to the underwriters and being a buyer in Scotland i have the home report to help towards the valuation stage. Sellers want a move in date of July 21st so i'm crossing my fingers everything runs smoothly!

Best of luck and keep the updates coming!

Still waiting a decision on ours, full application submitted on the 19th june. Been chased for docs and then one was missing that they initially accepted (failed to attached to case) so back in underwriting queue and hoping to hear this week. I expect they will want more and more documents and then it will be another week. Whole process been awful, had mortgages before with accord and then NatWest, no issues straight through within a week. Wish broker never placed us with Santander its been a long drawn out stressful process.

01/10/2018 Application submitted via broker
02/10/2018 Text message received from Santander confirming they received application
02/10/2018 More documents requested
02/10/2018 Survey booked for 12/10/2018
03/10/2018 Documents uploaded
05/10/2018 Incorrectly completed documents, submission requested again for same documents
08/10/2018 Correctly completed documents uploaded
12/10/2018 Valuation took place

NOW we are anxiously waiting for a decision!

It's so frustrating as our future plans totally depend on this mortgage. Santander were the only lender to take our latest year income and lend 5.5x.

I checked on the service levels, it says "We're reviewing applications sent to our underwriters on 2 October". I'm guessing our application would have been sent to the underwriter on 08/10/2018 as that was when all our documents were in place (I'm hoping), then the survey took place on 12/10/2018. Its a bit of a mystery as to exactly whats happening in the background but nevertheless hopefully we will get a response WITH an offer very soon!
