halifax application experience advice

hello
I wonder if anyone can tell me what there experience with this was. I'm driving myself mad trying to decide what to do for the best. I'm person 2 in a house buying chain of 4. my buyer is a FTB. my onward purchase is all but ready to go to exchange, but my buyer hasn't even got a mortgage offer yet. they had an admin problem on their credit file which has taken about 5-6 weeks to sort out, they have submitted an application via L&C to the Halifax on the 17th of this month. they have only told me this as I was threatening to go back on the market because they were ignoring my contacts. so he has sent me a screen shot of the progress so far, which looks like very little to me, so I was just wondering if anyone else had used this company to get a Halifax mortgage so I can try and work out how much longer this is likely to take.
the status says ..."is currently undergoing initial assessment by their underwriters..."
all thoughts gladly received.

There is clearly an issue if you have had an offer for six weeks.
