@Samfaye01 goodness me all those things that many weeks later! What else do they need?! We haven’t been asked for anything else our MA gave everything and I mean everything! They got an employee reference for myself last week and queried my partners bank statements for a couple transactions. The silence is killing me I don’t know where we stand.0

@Samfaye01 we are the exact same. 5 weeks seems like 5 months! I will do, you too. No we just went with a MA we knew. Are you? I keep seeing Brightstar through this thread but something I’m not familiar with, sounds like they are pretty slow...0

Only tip is to without them asking just send each months bank statements and payslips to your MA when they come... save you some time as they will ALWAYS ask for them0 -
@Samfaye01 it’s one thing after another. I’m also concerned about this whole gifted deposit thing. My grandparent is giving us some money and my solicitor said just beware as BS always want legal advice to be taken out for giftors! When myself and my boyfriend have most of the deposit.0

It's definitely worth bearing in mind that they may ask for this and this will cost extra.1 -

My parents are getting their independent legal advice tomorrow. The solicitor said they just need the mortgage offer and the independent legal advice form, is that right? I don’t want any delays. What’s the declaration of solvency? Is that for them to do?Thanks 😊0 -
