What I’ve read also, if the lender rejects first time do not go straight away into applying again, make sure everything is ok on your credit files, if not already done so
Rooting for you Mogie, will be following their to see how you get on as we are now in the same situation0 -
Thank you all so much... got a call today from my broker to say the mortgage is with the underwriters and we should have a decision by Wednesday...
I'm in Scotland so I know the process is slightly different when it comes to the conveyance but that side of things don't worry me..
I will keep you all posted and I will also keep my fingers crossed for all of you going through the same stressful time, I've been through some tough times in my life but geeezo this is torture.:T:T we are going to be Home owners yay:T:T0 -
Just a wee note to say Mortgage offer came in I am over the moon ��
Thanks everyone for all the support, I would have been lost without the forum.
Although it banned me on Monday night after I posted my news about the broker and I have only just got back in tonight ... ��:T:T we are going to be Home owners yay:T:T0 -
Congratulations Mogie, that's awesome news! Hopefully you can relax a little now
I had good news today too, our buyer's valuation and survey came back all ok - which is where it all went horribly wrong last time, so I am mega relieved and happy today too. Cheers! :beer:0 -
