    They must of done mine the other way around then. Yeah i hate waiting as well. Wondering if that 10 day is for people using Mortgage Brokers only as its on the intermediaries site? 
  • Yeah but didn’t you reply immediately answering their questions? So maybe they wrote the letter after you replied :smile:

    You get the letter at the same time they send you questions, it's the first time they look at your file I beleive the letter is sent automatically when they open up your file for the first time.
  • I never got one and have got further questions 👀

    Just called LBS for an update - They are still stating 6 days over phone. Said all that's left to do is Underwriters look at Valuation and should have offer on Friday.
  • Ahhh that’s great @cadders24! Not long for you now :)

    Aye, have everything crossed :) - Any news for you yet? Might be worth calling LBS
  • I spoke to my broker yesterday. Still saying Monday for me. If they haven’t contacted me by then I will chase but don’t want to keep bothering the broker.
