Received via an email, 10pm at night after mortgage was approved. Not sure if we will receive a postal copy but the solicitors believe that they will revive a paper one.docspers said:People with offers: are you receiving hard copies by post as well as the pdfs on DigiDocs?0 -
Omg!! I imagine quite a high percentage of new builds are bought off plan, without a registered address. I just cannot believe this for you… it is utter madness!lantanna said:No update on the cert other than now there is an issue with the address coz it’s not registered yet with the post office yet. Yep no it can’t be, coz it’s not built yet.What am I expected to do about that.How many new build are bought off Plan every year, you would think this would be straightforward.0 -
At 6.30pm I got my mortgage offer. What a long road, thanks everyone for your support. Hopefully everyone waiting gets sorted soon.1

Desk top valuation satisfactoryYesterday I heard from the underwriter reviewing my application and he is happy to sanction the lending just as soon as I can provide updated Tax year overview or SA302 so they match. The total tax agrees to the tax calculation but we have supplied all paperwork again. I’ve been told once received a mortgage offer will be issued. Just checked my tracker and it seems all documents has been ticked off and reviewed.
