    @hollybryan2013 possible as when I phoned them yesterday they said I might hear on the 7th. Which would work out to be 10days including weekends. Cant imagine them working weekends though.


    Ooh really, did you go through a broker or direct? 

    Could you let me know if you hear anything on the 7th? 

    Thank you :)

    I’m also due to hear on 7th too. It was said 10 working days by Leeds when I phoned up. I went direct. I really hope it’s good news 🤞

    It was on 26th August. When I phoned to check about the valuation I was told that it was submitted for its first assessment on the 21st August and that we’d hear about the first assessment on 7th September. I’m hoping they don’t need much more information as my husband is away for a few weeks with work. 
    DIP 30th July
    Full application 10th August. 

  • I Am hoping we all hear before the 10 days are up!! Hopefully Leeds have caught up with the backlog! Fingers crossed for all of us!

    Keep us all updated on your progress with leeds :) x
  • I really doubt they will catch up any time soon :( the timescales they’ve given so far have been accurate.

    Unfortunately my application didn't start off brilliantly with my application going missing. However after emailing it through last week I called this morning and the we have got a valuation instructed and the documents assessed. 
    However I then found this thread and it has me worrying about missing documents such as proof of deposit - We are getting a chunk from my partners father but didn't see a place on the application for this. Therefore I suspect we will be asked and will need to send the deposit form plus bank statements showing this transaction. To pre-empt this request we thought we would get them over to LBS as soon as possible. Those people that were asked for this, did you email them or was it via a branch or in the post? Any advice would be appreciated as I am waking up every day at 4am fretting


  • its now gone up t o12 working days for any documents to be assessed!! :(  :s

    Hi, one of the questions we were asked was about a large sum of money that was deposited into my account(this was a holiday refund) but they sent a form for us to sign if it was a gift from anyone. So you may have to wait till they send it to you. But no harm asking. 
    We have had our offer but my understanding is whenever you send anything in it then goes to the back of the 10 day Q. I hope it’s all sorted for you soon!


    First time buyer- Shared ownership- 13/7 DIP Leeds- soft search- 20/7 told we got house-21/7 instructed solicitor- 27/7 sales memo and full application- 30/7 hard search- 3/8 mortgage declaration sent- 6/8 told valuation complete
    13/08 questions from underwriters 
    17/08 letter to say initial assessment completed.
    20/8 Broker says it will be another week until more communication from Leeds.
    27/08 Mortgage approved 
  • @nwrigh After the first assessment they asked me questions regarding the deposit and furlough. I think they will normally always ask something on the first assessment.
