Providing an update on this thread, we ran into a few hiccups, our solicitor wasn't approved on the panel for our lender, so we changed, but we're on our way now with searches, should exchange mid November

In the same boat here FTB with Aldermore glad I've found this thread as it's nice to know of others going through the same process.

10/10 AIP with Aldermore
11/10 Offer made and accepted on house
12/10 Full Application submitted through broker
15/10 Broker asked for copies of our p60's and gifted deposit letter. Took them over Signed some paperwork and gave bank card details for the survey fees . Money for the survey came out within minutes of them having it.

Not heard anything since Monday afternoon so I guess things are progressing along and just waiting for the survey to complete but it's just all the waiting about wondering

Hi All

I have been following this post for a while and thought I'd share my experience. I am not a FTB but a mover so to speak. I have sold my property and currently living with family.

The house search has been ongoing since July 2017 but we only started looking "properly" once our house was sold in July of this year ie viewing properties and speaking to local EA regarding requirements.

So here goes...

Broker found - July 2018
July 2018 - Experian credit report purchased and queried as we had some admin errors like maiden name used as a surname showing as an alias and then also the proper name also appearing as an alias?! a quick email to Experian fixed this.
Aug 2018 - All docs submitted - Proof of ID, 3 months bank statements, 3 months payslips, P60 (this is a must, or March payslip), Any additional provided regarding payment history that may or may not come up.

1st Viewing - 26/10
2nd viewing - 27/10

Offer Submitted - 29/10
Offer Accepted - 30/10
DIP Approved - 02/11
Survey Paid - 02/11
Valuation booked - 06/11 - (For 13/11 later cancelled :mad:)
Full Application Submitted - 05/11
Homebuyers Survey booked inc Valuation - 12/11
Surveys completed - 19/11
Valuation submitted - 20/11
Offer Received - 21/11

So we are over the moon now, we can start to plan our move as the vendors have no chain and are looking to move ASAP.

Just a heads up regarding solicitor requirements confirmed by Aldermore, as our original one had to be changed
They have to:
Have 4 SRA approved managers
Be CQS accredited
Be on the Law society website

I hope the above helps anyone going with Aldermore or just going through a mortgage app.

Have a Great Day
