    Well, we received our offer last Thursday.. hoping to exchange by this Friday. 
    Our timeline was: 
    Mortgage in principe 2/4/21 
    Mortgage submitted 8/4/21 
    Valuation 22/4/21 
    Request for more documents 7/5/21 
    Verbal offer 1/6/21 
    Formal offer 3/6/21 

    The process was gruelling and so anxiety provoking but our MA was amazing, highly recommend prosper protect mortgages. Also recommend contacting the Bluestone representative for your area if things seem to be taking their time, we spoke to ours and was given an offer 3 days later. 

    Hang on in there ☺️
    Congratulations 🎉 

    How do we speak to this local rep? 😜
    If you go directly to Bluestones website and click contact us, select your locality and it will bring up the rep, and their contact details! 

    Hope it helps!! (also apply a lot of pressure to your mortgage broker!)


  • Thanks so much (although as the broker ignores me that won’t be easy) 🤣
  • Found it !!! It’s gone to voicemail (suppose it’s after 5pm now) but that’s fab. If I don’t get an update tomorrow I’ll be on the phone 🤣🤣

    Honestly don’t blame you, my partner spoke to ours who was really useful and said he would push it internally as long as our broker pushed it externally too. & 3 days later we had an offer! 
    We were on a really tight ship because ours is a newbuild so well over the 28 days they expect you to exchange in!! 🙄

    Congratulations @chloes26 and nhsrelocation! 🎉. We are using help to buy too. MA submitted application to the packager on 26/5/21. Had a request for more documents 02/06/21. Do you think it was the packager or Bluestone? Our MA said application had been submitted to Bluestone.
