Are you buying new build?We are using Help to buy, DIP before Christmas and application submitted last Wednesday. bluestones then asked for proof of deposit which we sent last Friday but our MA advised our valuation has been booked for today and we should have an update in 48 hours?
are your brokers using a packager or anything? Fingers crossed you have good news soon! Think sometimes self employed take longer but hoping I haven’t got to wait that long0 -
No not buying a new build and not using a help to buy or anything, we’re buying a bungalow for £300,000 and got a mortgage for £230,000 if all goes well fingers crossed!alexjared93 said:Are you buying new build?We are using Help to buy, DIP before Christmas and application submitted last Wednesday. bluestones then asked for proof of deposit which we sent last Friday but our MA advised our valuation has been booked for today and we should have an update in 48 hours?

Hi,
Which company do you use to view the searches completed by Bluestone? I can’t see any searches at all.Thanks0 -
Bluestone use Experian - if you have credit expert you can see the searches on Experian.
Full application submitted last Wednesday with valuation completed yesterday but I haven’t seen any hard search yet (only soft search from DIP)
hoping to hear soon0 -
Ok I see it now, only one search way before we got the offer.Has anyone had a search near to completion?0

@Brad92 have you had any update?
They came back yesterday confirming valuation as expected and requested more docs but told today we are in the awaiting final decision queue if anyone knows timescales?
hoping for good news soon as I can’t take the stress anymore lol0 -
We’ve had to supply yet more info, they had been getting back to us earlier this week within 24 hours, but this time with the latest info back it’s 3 days tomorrow, my mortgage advisor phoned impact today and they said they are expecting to hear from them tomorrow and hoping the next step is instructing the valuation and impact said once that’s been done they are happy with everything,alexjared93 said:@Brad92 have you had any update?
