Anyone currently applying through Barclays? MA is off - need realistic timelines

520d2012

So - just spoke to MA.
Advised that Barclay last current SLA for document verification is 12 working days. He must wait for this before he can query it.
Application submitted 20/07 with all docs, 3 x payslip, 2 x P60, 3 x Bank Statements.
Mortgage declaration signed and sent back 21st.
Not sure when it happened - but advised on 24/07 that desktop valuation was successful.
Docs waiting for underwriter review - but I must wait till 4th August at least for escalation.
Great way to spend the weekend

Wow - the SLA for document reviews is going up by about 5 days every week!
We're still waiting from the last document submission which was 6 working days ago :-(

So 22 days after being told a desktop valuation was going to be performed I’ve now been told they need to carry out a physical valuation!! I imagine this won’t get booked until next week now and by the timescales from others on here that’s going to take another 2 weeks roughly. I’ve lost the will to live with the whole process on what was a straight forward application.

So a desktop was never performed? Or did they perform one and now want a physical one too?

My MA has rang Barclays this morning, and they have said ours is due final review today so should have an answer by the end of today... fingers crossed!
