Nationwide additional borrowing advice

Morning all,

Hoping to get some advice on the below please. We've had a mortgage for coming up 4 years with Nationwide and decided to go for some additional borrowing to do a few things around the house. Currently have £138k owing, additional borrowing requested of £22k. House was valued at £207k when I completed the application online (through their own populated value). The decision was refereed at time of application so have had to send in pay slips and bank statements which has given us the below updates on our timeline...

Couple of questions - Does a valuer come out to your home to complete the valuation or just do this remotely currently? Any more potential hickups at this point in the process other than them not agreeing with Nationwide's own valuation?

Thanks!

  • Just awnsered my own first question, valuation booked for next week after they just called me to come out and do 
  • Probs as your loan to value will be quite high then at 80% so they want to check if that is correct. Whenever Ive borrowed more its been automated as Im down in the lower 30%’s loan to value
