Is this positive?

We have a mortgage application in with Aldermore and they asked for some additional paperwork last week which was provided. I have called for an update and Aldermore had asked our broker to ask why the mortgage had been in 5 months of arrears 28 months ago. This was due to having an operation to remove a cancerous tumour and my work weren’t paying a full wage. The second was asking if my husband had been in a DMP which he had been but this was all paid in full and early back in February. The mortgage and all other credit on my file has been up to date since February 2017. Aldermore have instructed a valuation even with these questions is this a good sign?
The broker has advised not to pay out any money and to wait to see what Aldermore come back with, I’m thinking they wouldn’t organise a valuation if they were thinking it was a no. What do you guys think?

What does your broker says?

He said they can still issue mortgages but to not commit or pay for anything until we hear back from the lender
