Typo in Address on offer

Hi,

I just got an offer through a broker from nationwide and noticed a typo in the address.

You can call it 'Address Line 2' that is wrong so to speak. I'm not sure on it's official name but it's a suburb in a city.

The post code is correct as well as the house number and street. Called broker and informed them who said they would amend, I asked if it would cause any issues and they said it would be fine.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of this with Nationwide? I was assured that the valuation was done on the correct address etc.

95% of me believes the broker but it feels like we've taken so long to get here I'm mildly nervous.

Thanks!

    Mistakes happen. Documents should always be checked thoroughly.
  • Sure, understand that. Caught it on the first read upon getting the offer today. In your experience is it likely to be a problem?

    I doubt it’ll be an issue if it’s getting fixed now, had it been left to last minute it could delay completion depending on the lender/type of error so I think it sounds like it’s caught in time so don’t worry too much.

    Nope, shouldn't be a problem.

    It most probably was an error on either the part of the broker or the nationwide staff, but its easily amended and a fresh new spanking offer will come out the end of the correction!

    The address on my offer paperwork was wrong but a phone call and it was sorted though it added 5 days of delay
