  • Leeds got in contact today and wanted more documents 🙄🙄🙄
    Oh dear,
    Wonder why your MB wouldn't have thought about what documents they would need in the first place if they keep asking for them!

    I don't want to scare anyone but I'm at 198 days and counting  :disappointed:

    I spoke to them on the phone today and their times for all services have gone up since a month ago, great news is I might be able to satisfy their valuer as of next week so fingers crossed. What's another 4 days after all of that lol

    It's something we've given them before, but in a different format. I think they're just being picky? 🙄

    Thats annoying.
    I feel like they're going to ask for my credit card statements because equifax is taking so long to update that ones I've paid off are still showing and nothing matches!!

    Valuer wants an EWS1 form of nightmares... Luckily the survey is done but no guarantee they will give the report next week.

    I'm tired of waiting, not even excited about the house anymore lol Leeds have been great though!

    My broker put a application in on Tuesday but I wasn’t given a mortgage illustration ie what my mortgage payments will be. His put it forward for underwriting team 1st 
  • Looks like we have the ball rolling now (shame its the weekend!) We had our valuation completed on Wednesday and it met the asking price. Today we had our first questions and a soft search identity check has appeared on our credit reports.

    Today is the 27th working day for us.
