    Can I join this? Trying to remortgage to Halifax. 

    13/08 AIP received 
    14/08 Full application submitted with Halifax advisor, which has been referred! 

    Strangely though the valuation has been done electronically and the advisor said that was sufficient. The house is actually worth about 215k and they valued at 267k giving a ltv of about 48%. 

    Other than that affordability is good (they said they could offer another 50k) and we have two years mortgage payments behind us. 

    Negatives are my partner has a 5 year old mobile phone default (£48, Settled) and their system says we aren't showing on the electoral roll even though we are on all credit report providers. 

    Really worried now though as it's been referred :-(. Should hear back on Thursday.

    Nothing! I’ve been stopping myself from emailing my broker all day. How about you? 
  • Hi! 

    Does anyone have a link to the Halifax mortgage application tracker please? 

    Our MA has said that he doesn’t think there is, but I’ve seen a few of you mention it so thought I’d ask!

    Our application has just been submitted so we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a quick response 🤞🏻

    Check your emails.

    You should have received the link within your emails.

    The Halifax tracker is fantastic. Even though everything was completed in a few days.
