Ive just checked the rates on Leeds. We applied for a certain rate but they have now updated the rates as of 31st July and ours is now stating a £999 fee. When we applied the fee was £0. Do they honer this if it was in before they changed? or will i have to take the new rate?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

I’m not sure on the application fee but I can imagine that it will be whatever the deal was when you applied..
I just got news that our valuation is booked for Monday. Another week to wait for me 👍🏻0 -

It might be even sooner for you
the surveyor had the wrong number so couldn’t get through for a few days!! Was only because the housing association chased them that they managed to get it booked! 0 -
Fingers crossed. Have the solicitors chasing savings statements. Even though i have already sent them. Only problem is we only started saving back in march so only have 4 months of statements. They want 6!!stampystamp said:It might be even sooner for you the surveyor had the wrong number so couldn’t get through for a few days!!

Surely they can see how you saved the money????0

I’m hoping it will be ok. They can see everything. I know it’s the whole making sure I’m not laundering any money. If I was I wouldn’t be so forthcoming with bank statements.😂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

How strange, we are a month in front of you and they only wanted 3. I’m sure it’s fine if your statements before March don’t show you saving regularly. We were not even saving for a mortgage deposit, we were saving for our summer holiday that got cancelled 😓 so our savings were very haphazard. I was mortified that I have so many accounts that they had to sift through but it was fine.carlyfluck said:

Yes, we were the same, we had a refund for a cruise so there is a large deposit which I have proof of if they need it. I’ve sent the statements again anyway lol.Inituptomyeyes said:

i just don’t like all this waiting around and it’s only been a week since we submitted the full application 😂
move emailed the estate agent just to keep them updated and show I am trying to move things along but obviously some things are out of my control.
