  • and so did we but they keep asking for more my OH is self employed so that makes it not as straightforward as normal
    Maybe next week we will be happier...................
    stopped worrying about it for now as there are far more serious things going on in this world
    but still think that they are totally inept.........
  • We were terrified looking at the reviews but we've had a positive, and pretty efficient experience! They asked for 3 months more bank statements and a written explanation of a couple of arranged overdraft fees but we had our offer within a fortnight- hope you have some good news soon.

    Just in case anyone is in the same boat, I spoke to Leeds today and I have an offer subject to the valuation, so I've been approved. :)

    I've managed to save nearly £1k in MA fees now I'm not saying by any means all of them are the same as mine I was probably unlucky but it does show that even without a perfect credit history you can get a mortgage without a MA.

    What's a MA?
