  • 13 working days since we submitted additional info and still waiting...
    I think there's going to be an even bigger delay now due to the lockdown

    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

  • Is anybody waiting for post offer correspondence, if so how long has it taken
  • Is anybody waiting for post offer correspondence, if so how long has it taken
    we got sent our offer in the post more or less straight away after our MA told us the news (maybe 1 day later). We then signed and returned it. Other than that, our MA says we are good to go and leeds are just awaiting our solicitors instruction to release funds, whcih takes 5 working days

    Yeah we had everything done before we got the offer. But now we are waiting on the sellers mortgage, so the wait never ends haha. My Jobs ok I havent been furloughed, but my partner did back in the first lockdown, but we haven't heard anything from leeds yet in terms of requesting further info so fingers crossed were ok. I think once you have the offer you're pretty safe? But our MA did say that until you exchange, they do reserve the right to change the offer/ request further info

    I’m waiting on the top chain too, his waiting on searches. In my area searches take a week.  my Soliciator receptionist is isolating so no one is answering the phone so emails only. Hope we all can get through this bizarre situation
