Does Leeds do everything in random orders? We applied and full hard search was done. According to our broker things have been checked etc and was just waiting for valuation which was done yesterday. We applied 26th Aug, seems a long time to wait for valuation.0

Our application went in on the 25th of September and they requested valuation transcript a few days later. Hard searches have been done on our credit file but heard nothing since. Our move in date is 16th November, not confident of making that going by some of the comments. Worried that we wait a while then get declined...what a stress0

Honestly have no idea. I know I have a hard search on my credit file. Valuation was only done yesterday and we are almost on week 7 now of waiting. Will ring our broker I think on Monday and see what’s going on. According to them we are almost done but from what everyone else is saying we still have weeks to wait. And honestly if it’s going to be a rejection I would rather know now.0

I agree on the rejection thing, been living on eggshells for almost 8 weeks and will be absolutely devastated if its just a no!!!LBS 95% LTV Shared ownership application3/8 DIP agreed

We have just started on this journey. Applied through a broker on 01/10/2020 and got agreement in principal on 5th, plus mortgage offer on 8th when we went to see the broker who said they were taking 5-6 weeks to process at the moment.0
