    I'm so jealous of those of you who have got an application to offer so quickly, we are 6 weeks in and still no offer. Nothing unusual about our circumstances, <80% LTV, borrowing 2.5 x our salary, no dependents both full time employed, porting a recently closed mortgage product which seems to be the thing making it so slow. Keep checking the forums for anyone else that it's taken this long for but I seem to be the only one  :(

    Hi there,

    Nervously adding ourselves to the waiting game......it is 'just' a remortgage, but it means a lot to us.

    DIP - 25/7
    Full Application - 26/7
    Valuation Booked - 31/7

    Good luck everyone xx

    Just updating- we collected our keys today 🥳🥳. Took exactly 10 weeks from viewing house to collecting the keys. I was convinced that something would go wrong but it was smooth sailing. Our timeline below:

    17/05 - viewed house we loved
    18/05 -  had an offer accepted on house
    19/05 - wage slips etc sent over to broker
    22/05 - AiP from Nationwide approved (we had AiP from other lenders before viewing
    22/05 - full application submitted by broker
    22/05 - text confirming valuation booked for same day
    22/05 - soft credit searches on credit report
    23/05 - hard credit searches on credit report
    31/05 - text confirming valuation all ok
    06/06 - mortgage offer issued
    Quiet for a few weeks - completion date set for 26/07
    03/07 - asked for LISA funds to be released from Skipton
    19/07 - Nationwide confirm mortgage funds released on 25/07
    20/07 - missives signed
    25/07 - solicitor confirmed all funds received
    26/07 - collected keys

    I will keep my fingers crossed for everyone still waiting

    Valuation completed today - broker said 'accepted on their nationwide portal' - does that mean it is ok?

    Mortgage offer today - just 4 days following application!! Absolutely made up.....and in shock xxx
  • Just got a message and an email today that says 'We're delighted to let you know we've issued a mortgage offer which will be posted out to you and your mortgage broker shortly.'

    DIP - 12/8/2023
    Full application - 14/8
    Extra documents requested - 24/8
    Transaction audit trail requested - 31/8
    Offer issued - 5/9
    Valuation - automated valuation model

  • Our current situation is:
    Application via broker 26/9 (text confirmation same day)
    Hard credit check 26/9
    Valuation booked 27/9, apparently for same day

    My broker asked for my last payslip - I assume I’ll be asked for more documents at some point?
