    Thanks for the response - that's fine, I'm not here to play a blame game but just thought if it was an error on Aldermore's part it may be a quicker fix than them having to reevaluate the application.

    Obviously it's just burst our balloon of the initial acceptance slightly - I'm hoping it can be sorted asap!

    What was your time line from aldermore if you don't mind me asking?
    Our broker said Aldermore received the amendement request on Thursday morning. They said up to 48 hours - he's just said they're stretching this at the moment from being busy, so said to maybe expect something Monday/Tuesday.

    Ahh sorry.
    DIP: 27th Jan
    Offer Accepted: 28th Jan
    Illustration: 29th Jan
    Valuation instructed: 10th Feb
    Valuation accepted: 22nd Feb
    Mortgage accepted: 8th March 
  • Update - Aldermore apparently only valued the house for £140k, so now we've had to contact seller and let them know.
    Now we wait to see what they say... really frustrated though as you can imagine.

    Sadly what I was afraid of, not the news you needed right now ...
