Exactly same position my update was supposed to be today and for the 3rd week running. The update is to wait another week . So now 3rd dec. .Emeljay19 said:

I’ve stopped my subscription once I got the AIP so I have no clue. I’ve got credit karma but don’t think that’s the right credit reference agency and doesn’t even show my AIP soft search.bell2020 said:
I'm the same, honestly. I am spending my days refreshing emails incase the broker contacts, refreshing our solicitors app for updates and checking this page constantly 🙈 I've rang our solicitor 4 times and messaged her and have had no answer!! Still waiting to hear if they've received valuation report and how long to expect an update. Hate not knowing whats going on, I'm a control freak 😩 have you had any hard checks on your credit file? We had one on 24th sept, the day our application went in but we had another last Friday 🤷♀️Emeljay19 said:
I really hope so. I’m so frustrated today. Was promised a decision and it’s been put back to tomorrow. Just feel like I’m being fobbed off if I’m honest. I’ve lost all faith that I’m going to get a mortgage offer out of this 😫bell2020 said:
Yes it says for new purchases only. I just thought it would be a good thing for us as maybe things will be done quicker 🤞Emeljay19 said:

My broker has confirmed that it’s new applications onlyMy broker has said that credit checks are fine, valuation fine, affordability fine only issue is my partners address history. I’ve uploaded online bank statements but they need approving by the senior underwriter and then we will get the yes or no.I’m just sick of being told it will be tomorrow every single day!Doesn’t seem to be much news of any approvals just recently either 😫
I’m a control freak also and a serious over thinker. Can’t go another night with no sleep ☹️
We had the same thing with the address history but we passed all the underwriting so it was obviously fine. Theyve taken their times off their website too so can't even track that now ha ha!I’m honestly considering trying a different broker and seeing if I can go with a different company. We had a AIP with bluestone originally and were persuaded to go with Vida after passing qualification with the builders mortgage broker. I’m really regretting my decision now. The house we are hoping to buy is ready & we are supposed to be completing on Friday 😢
I am going to contact the fca if I get same update next week0 -
Oh no 😫 I’ve been told tomorrow but I’m not holding my breath. So frustrating, I feel your pain ☹️sirjp82 said:

If you start again its going to be several more months. The adverse credit lenders that use human underwriters and not computerised take forever! Bluestone are just aslong i think after previously reading through the comments on here, and their rates are alot higher. We were quoted 3.79% in our AIP which I think is great for an adverse credit mortgage!0 -

Yes but today they came back with another few questions which i a in the process of answering. On the other hand we had to get a builder round to the property in the meantime as there were quite a few issues with the property and we have been quoted 6,500 for the works but owner is refusing to budge and has said they will remarket it so i now have a choice.bell2020 said:
