@Little_Gem No they never requested anything else from us, just everything got ticked on Friday then this morning we got emailed the mortgage offer from Natwest. So 1 day under 4 weeks

I applied on 04/10 and my tracking number started working yesterday (17/10). My valuation was instructed on 17/10 for the 18/10. Do Natwest instruct valuations straightaway and then assess affordability etc later?  My tracker has no updates other than the valuation being instructed

Is there anyone who applied on 29/09 still waiting for a valuation to be booked in? It just seems like it's been so long for nothing to have happened yet, documents not looked at and valuation not booked.

I am in the same boat (applied 29/09 too) and no valuation mentioned on the tracker. I am assuming it's to do with location rather than anything else as the house is quite rural. Once the documents are looked at I imagine (or hope!) it would be next in the process.

We also have a valuation booked for 21st, asked the broker if it means they've completed the initial assessment and checks and was advised that it's not done yet and will be done simultaneously with the valuation. We made the application on 30/09 and got a call yesterday to book a valuation. However initial assessment has still not been done.

Hi, Did you apply direct or through a broker?
