    Our mortgage offer with Barclays a few months ago took 2 days! However we went via a broker, borrowed well within our means and had a near perfect credit history.

    Thank you all for commenting. It’s good to know yours took 4 weeks from valuation. I will try and wait patiently :)

    I wonder if you got a stock answer from Barclays? 6 - 8 weeks is longer than it was even during the stamp duty holiday. 

    We got ours in 4 days in August, and our buyer got his in six days at the end of October. He had a valuation on day three. 

    None of the offers were only sent in the post, either - me & the solicitor both got digital copies automatically; and the paper copy followed a few days later.
    Signature down for maintenance :rotfl:

    Did you go direct to Barclays or through a broker?

    i don't think 3 weeks is that long so i would give them a couple more weeks before i start to worry.

    we gave up on barclays, they were just hopeless. HSBC sorted our mortgage in one day! subject to valuation... it took another 15 minutes from the valuation taking place (within 5 days) to make us an offer. it felt like Barclays didn't want us as customers. the stamp duty break is not an excuse, we're beyond that.
