    Timeline so far
    23.06 DIP
    03.07 questions 
    07.07 questions
    09.07 questions 
    (most of these questions they already had the answer to!)
    19.07 conveyancer turns up on my door step asking for the keys to the house we are trying to buy.  Sent him to the estate agent who actually has the keys!
    20/07 BS ask for more information they already have
    21/07 valuation comes in at £0 😡
    22/07 surveyor puts wrong postcode on his report but I get told it’s wrong on all of my paperwork
    23/07 full credit searches done 
    23/07 more questions
    27/07 told earliest update would be Friday 

    im starting to get really frustrated now 😭
    How annoying, I’m frustrated with our signature issue, this should’ve been sorted when the application went in and pre app stuff was done ages ago, now cannot get hold of my MA so nothings been sent off which means we’re back at bottom of the que and having to wait until Wednesday next week for an update over something so small! Hopefully you get an update sooner! As this update we just had was due Thursday this week! And we got it yesterday! 
    It’s so frustrating and unprofessional isn’t it.  I wish they would just ask all the questions in one go and be done with it.  But no doubt they have faffed about so much that we will then be asked for more up to date bank statements.  
    Was feeling so positive last week now feel like it’s going to be a no 😭

    Our last statements were upto the 5th of July and we’re hoping the underwriters update this Thursday was going to be more positive but low and behold the next update will be when new bank statements are due! There taking on too much I recon and not dealing with things efficiently I keep getting told everything is progressing nicely but then get hit with a setback! Our new build is almost complete so now we’re panicking we’ve sent back all our paperwork to the solicitor they’re now just waiting for bluestone to hurry up 😩 it’s mentally draining isn’t it! Hopefully you get news sooner!

    Hi..

    just wanted to know if any one had any issues with bluestone and selling on Amazon/Ebay.. did they ask for further information or refused application?

    Situation is I have a Full time permanent job and that’s the income I’m relying on for the mortgage application not for what I sell on Amazon..

    reading through posts before not come across this scenario so just checking..

    I'm not sure about amazon etc but with ours we didn't include tax credits in the end as part of our income because we hadn't done our latest award and knew we wouldn't get it this tax year  based on our income. So if you state that you're not including any other income other than your full time job for affordability I'm sure this is fine. I should also mention that I was working leading up to our application but didn't include this because I had to step back from my buisness to have a hand operation and bluestone didn't question it at all because we hadn't included it. Hope that helps (and made sense 😂)

    I couldn’t recommend my mortgage advisor enough, he has been there through my lowest rock bottom point and has dealt with my anxiety and panics and has never left me waiting over a few hours, I wouldn’t be able to deal with a radio silence one, so one positive is that I have him! I’m praying for our first underwriter update next week by Wednesday ish we’ve been told! Hoping the valuation will be booked by mid august if not sooner 🤞
