Awaiting mortgage offer and Covid-19

Good evening,
Hope you are all safe and well. 
What a time to be buying a house eh? FTB 95% applying with NatWest. 

This is my timeline so far:
20/02-1st Viewing
22/02-2nd Viewing and Proposed an offer
22/02-Offer accepted 
28/02-Mortgage appointment and solicitor appointed
06/03-Mortgage application submitted
12/03-Valuation instructed 
17/03-Valuation
18/03-Valuation received and my submitted documents are under review

Feeling a mixture of emotions, excited to potentially be buying a property but also worried with everything else going on in the world at the moment. Just wanted to know I’m not alone. I’m a nurse wanting to buy her first house and I’m going out of my mind, anxiously checking my emails every hour.

Lenders will be suffering processing delays due to the high level of payment holiday enquiries. Also staffing issues with people either off sick or at home looking after children etc.

Looks like you might have got a lot of that in before the more serious measures were introduced!
We're submitting full application today, mortgage adviser says everything still business as usual with banks just some delays due to staffing issues.

Good luck hope it all works out!
