HSBC Online Application

It is possible to get a residential mortgage without receiving advice, as has been mentioned it just means the lender puts in a statement that is used to discharge them of any liability should you later find the product you selected was inappropriate for your circumstances. One or two may even repeatedly mention how you may wish to seek appropriate advice prior to confirming you wish to proceed with the application.

A brief scan of some major lenders and FCA website shows that you can apply for a mortgage without advice, though most lenders pepper the process with various phrases ways of saying if at any point you want advice stop what you're doing and get it.

Actual topic question: For my application with Natwest it took a month, month and a half? Not super speedy, but quicker than I anticipated.
