We finally, after weeks of going back and forth, had our mortgage agreed subject to valuation back early May. Unfortunately there is a backlog of valuations to do but fast forward one month, I was informed by the vendor this was conducted yesterday. Does anyone know what sort of timescale the banks usually look to receive this info, and offer the full mortgage ?
I only ask because I’ve instructed a building survey to take place next Friday (that’s 7 working days later) and whilst I’m optimistic the valuation was fine, I’d rather not pay for it until we’ve got the full offer back.
