Hi , I am starting to stress with the delays on everything, is it usual for there to be a 1 week wait on MA to help with application at bank?
to book a 1hr 30 min appointment says 1 week wait yet you can phone for help? Are all banks doing this?

Thanks for your reply , issue I have is I am already in a fixed rate so looking to port to save the early exit fee, my understanding is I can’t leave current provider due to this0

A broker can port the mortgage for you. Which lender is it?0

YBS, I was told me someone on phone I had to ring up and do it over phone to port?0

Brokers can't do ybs unfortunately. You'll just have to wait. 1 week is very good at moment. Some lenders have a 1 month wait direct0

Ah - one of the few lenders a broker can't help you with0
