    Hi
    I’ve been following this thread for a while and it’s been very helpful! I was just wondering if there are different queues as my application went to the UW on the 19/10 but I’ve heard back today asking for some info. Once I provide this we are good to go. I have been looking at the timescales on the website and I wasn’t expecting my case to be looked at until the end of November. We are both full time employed and we both have been on furlough in the past?
    Ahhhh this is nice to hear!!! 
    Yes there are different queues according to my MB, SE/other issues one is long! However even though you were furloughed, if at initial assessment they could see that you’re 100% no longer in the danger zone they may have put you in the nice and straight forward queue!! Don’t fight it 😂 hopefully you’ll know soon!!
    I definitely won’t fight it haha! I’ve now got to wait for my employer to provide a letter with regards to furlough and wait for the searches to come back 🤞🏽 It all goes through smoothly!! It would be nice to end the year on a high 
    Started comping October 2013

    Wins - Nov 2013 - pair of Clothes Show Live tickets - Dec 2013 - family tickets for Strictly Come Dancing - March 2014 - £100 gift voucher for Smyths

    We’ve had to do this (back working now), provided one on application to say I was secure, a letter two weeks ago to say I’m back to work and now this week a letter to say the new lockdown restrictions haven’t affected me, which they haven’t.

    Yeah I think so, as soon as extra documents are asked for you might as well write that week off and potentially the next depending what day they ask, very frustrating

    I can imagine..not good at all. The fact they needed more evidence is only because they are taking so long in the first place to get mortgages to UW and approved..
    im yet to hear of someone who was not straightforward get an approval without a lot more info asked.
