  • We do exactly the same as you and they didn’t question it at all.  Is it a joint account?

    Wow that was quick, congrats 
    did you do your searches before the offer?
    I still haven’t done mine yet as I’m worried about Leeds would say about my job change 4 months ago as it’s a different field. Says they require 6 months in same field

    22/09 - application submitted with Leeds BS, long story short, on the 9/11 we've been told that Leeds is reducing the amount they're willing to lend by nearly £20k (turns out our broker FORGOT to declare our child on the application)
    10/11 - found another mortgage advisor
    11/11 - AIP with Santander (single applicant, shared ownership, 85LTV)
    12/11 - all documents sent
    13/11 - application with Santander submitted and passed to underwriting. Valuation booked for 23/11
    19/11 - mortgage agreed, subject to a satisfactory valuation 
    23/11 - mortgage offer issued
    19/12 - completed 
  • Any news anyone?

    The pre and post offer correspondence is now 10 days, we're hoping for an update this week.

    It’s the morgage hub timeline which is quick and annoying to see. they should rather concentrate on the current applications. 
    I asked what does post offer mean on here and no one replied as they always mention 15 days underwriting que.

    We received our mortgage offer today.  4 weeks today our mortgage application went in, didn't asked for any info other than issue with my partner's driving licence. Just so relieved. I'm sure everyone else's won't be long
