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 

Wow that’s quicker than 34 working days . 
congratulations 
didn’t they ask for more paperwork? Did you have to send driving licence again? Just so I get a idea if you had to submit a document

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. 

I have asked our MA about the pre & post offer correspondence queue and he said that the pre offer correspondence is what we're looking at. The wait is killing me 😱

Our mortgage advisor was really good tbh, he went over and above and sent them everything he could think they might ask for. The issue was my partner's passport had expired and driving licence was registered to an old address so they needed an additional utility bill. Our MA had escalated our case with letter from our solicitor so that's why they allowed us to sent the bill and the case was looked at again today. The letter from our solicitor was sent in last monday

Hi folks. I have a surprise as I got a letter out of blue saying I have a mortgage offer 🎉🎉 I rang Leeds to confirm.
Broker didn’t mention anything and I bet he didn’t have time as usual!  

Now this was my 2nd application if anyone wants to know

So now starting searches etc

Thanks. 19th I supplied info after a week. 

Like I said Leeds sent me this letter that’s how I know I have it , it’s dated 24th 
i spose my broker is a wider company that’s why they replied quickly but my rate is 2.29 on flexi plan, which my broker never told me too but I’m happy I have the mortgage as my chain was waiting for me

Hi folks,
I just wanted to share my own experience so far. It looks like most of you have had valuations completed before the letter regarding the initial assessment? Our timeline is as follows so far! 

15-Sep Mortgage application submitted

17-Sep Hard credit search (2 days in)

06-Oct Letter from LBS confirming initial assessment (15 days in)

29-Oct Additional information requested (32 days in)

29-Oct  Additional information sent

Am I correct in assuming the submittion of additional information now pushes us back another 15 days? 
Many thanks in advance!
