    Sorry to jump on - who are the 3 agencies for credit reports? Experian? Equifax? And who is the third?

    Can access the reports for free using the alternatives, clearscore for equifax, mse club for Experian etc.

    Hi this is the e mail i received from my broker. Can u kindly explain where i am and what they hv checked and if they may need any further things from me.
    Thank u
    Good news! Your mortgage application has now been agreed subject to the valuation, what will happen now is an independent valuer will arrange a valuation booking date with the builder to value the property you are purchasing and to produce a report for the lender to assess, this can take 2-3 working days for the valuer to arrange a booking date with the builder.

    Providing the property you are proposing to purchase is satisfactory from the lenders perspective. You'll be receiving a mortgage offer in the the near future.

    You'll still be at the beginning of what often is a stressful journey. I'd suggest you relax and chill. Otherwise you'll find yourself climbing walls.

    It's clear.

    Your application has been agreed and once the valuation report is back, the mortgage offer will be issued. Only a problem with the valuation can now affect the issue of the mortgage offer

    You didn!!!8217;t have the Form of Authority to proceed on the Equity Loan before the Mortgage application went in?

    We do not apply for the mortgage until we have the FOATP. Is your Broker managing the Equity Loan application?
