    I’m so early into the application process but we’ve been told that a valuation will be booked soon. We literally only applied last week. Does this mean anything or just part of the process? 
    Sorry just saw you said last week. That’s really quick! Gives me hope!
    When is your deadline to complete? Are you in Scotland or England?

    Beginning of June and Scotland.

    Are you buying a new build?? If so, the valuations are free so they are getting this done at the beginning to speed the process up! I thought the same when ours was done so early

    Yeah buying a new build! I thought it might be too good to be true haha. All our searches have been done as well so hopefully we can get the valuation done soon - anything to speed it all up. I don’t understand how they can do a valuation on a house that isn’t properly built yet though 🤷‍♀️
  • Ours is with the pre-underwriters. Went in on Monday. Our MA said the pre-underwriter had looked through all our financials and they are fine - I’m assuming that’s a good sign?

    I wouldn’t assume anything, we are into out fifth week and made non progress whatsoever and this was after initial checks. You aren’t at underwriting stage yet where one question has a 14 working day turnaround for anybreply. It really is like torture!!

    We obviously put over some information on Friday for the underwriters and update today said it won't be until week commencing 10th May mid week that there will be another update. Week 9 here since application and im just waiting onnthe buyers pulling out! Its painfully slow. Why does everything take 14 days to review?!!
