Hi :)

I’m applying for a mortgage with HSBC with my partner. sent all the documents to them - payslips, Bank statements etc. Had a phone call yesterday saying that me and my partner have passed full credit checks and it’s now being forwarded to the underwriters.
What do underwriters do?

Thanks :) x

    They will check your bank statements and payslips tally up with your application. They will check it is not a fraudulent application. They will check that they are basically happy with your application as a whole.

    I have sent everything to them and did the application over the phone and the mortgage advisor has done everything else.
    Should I be worried? I don!!!8217;t want to get my hopes up and then they tell me I!!!8217;ve been declined?

    Assuming you have told the truth then no nothing to worry about.
