 You've had your valuation a week before me though and applied the same day. Swings and roundabouts it seems at the moment.ftbhoping said:
 Ahhh this makes me worried. Why they haven’t hard searched us. We both have excellent reports and no debt. 😬foreverhome_89 said:

The valuation was apparently todayon day of application. Hard search showing on Experian and soft search showed on ClearScore.
 My searches still aren't showing on Equifax.0

 True, I only have access to the free versions Credit Karma, Check my File so they may be a little out of date. Fingers crossed for us. Today is the 21 days average time from app to offerSueF1 said:

 Yes I’ve only had 1 email saying application received. Somehow my husband had Countrywide text saying booked for a 15th then had 5 messages on the 14th confirming the valuation for the following day. It said we needed to be there but checked and that was apparently for the estate agent needing to be there.SueF1 said:0

 Ah OK if that text was meant to go to your agents maybe our vendors had the 5 texts instead lol (no agents invloved)ftbhoping said:

 Possibly. Obviously an error on their system to send the text 5 times. Will see over the next week as they’re up to applications sent to underswriter on the 1/9 and ours was in that pile on the 2/9 so hopefully shouldn’t be too much longer until it’s looked at.SueF1 said:
