    Well we got the update that the people we are buying the house from (who are buying a new build) their builders won't extend. We are a week away from offer and they won't. Im gutted. The solicitors and sellers have advised though to continue w the mortgage app and if we get it through next week, and we have something concrete to show them, then they can pick up where it was left, rather than the builders having to go through the whole process with someone else. So not completely out the game but absolutely gutted. 38 weeks pregnant and we may not have anywhere to live is scaring me to death. 
    Omg hun I’m so sorry. Let’s hope things pick up for you quickly and u are still in with a chance. U poor thing. 
    The special condition listed on the mortgage offer. Mine was about giftors getting legal advice regarding gifting, Having insurance in place, stuff the solicitors have to do really x

    Oh gosh, this sounds so stressful. Hope you get an offer soon. Hopefully baby will stay put for a few more weeks 🤞

    I've just looked on my credit file and they carried out another soft search on our files today. We had hard search 29th April. Is this normal to have another search? We are at final underwriting stage.... my nerves are shot 😒

    I wouldn’t stress it’s probably just to check you haven’t taken anything else out credit wise recently. I would say it’s a good sign u may get offer next  week

    Do you think? Our credit files are gleaming, we have only had to use Bluestone as I'm still in a debt management plan from 7 years ago which has dropped off my file now.
    Did you have a soft search after your hard search?

    So this morning been told that valuation has been instructed
    Only issue is I phoned the developer and its booked in for the 7th June ☹
    Oh no y so long? 
    Because apparently the valuation company are extremely busy and that's the earliest they can do are full application only went in on Monday 2 questions and a hard search on Tuesday then underwriters have now instructed valuation I'm going to call the developer on Monday see if he can get it speeded up a bit
