    Has anyone had their case escalated via a solicitors letter? How quick was it after it was submitted 
    We sent a letter on 7th December as well, saying everything is ready, all checks have come back, seller is ready to sell and request that Santander expedite the case.....and yet, nothing!

    Can I ask if solicitors are allowed to speak to the underwriters even if we have gone through a mortgage broker ? I’m trying to find ways to push this in every way possible!

    We went through a broker too,  I'm not sure if they spoke to an underwriter but spoke to someone at santander and explained our buyer was going to pull out if we didn't get a reply soon the next day the underwriter called my broker asked a few questions and then our offer was issued an hour or so later from the mortgage centre.

    That helps a lot, thank you. I’ve now asked my solicitor to get involved and call Santander...let’s see what happens.
