Barclays mortgage - awaiting valuation results (FTB)

Chloe27895

I'm currently waiting for the valuation report and mortgage offer back from Barclays, it's been 4 working days and the waiting is so painful. - I see many other people seem to have received mortgage offer the day after their valuation.
The valuation has been done by Countrywide surveyors and I regret looking them up, they seem to be known for downvaluing more frequently than other surveyors and I'm very concerned about this.
Any idea when I should be hearing back? Everything seems to be happening very slowly or am I overthinking this?

Timeline:
23/02/2022 - Offer accepted
25/02/2022 - Mortgage application sent
03/03/2022 - Mortgage "fully agreed subject to a satisfactory valuation report"
14/03/2022 - Valuation survey

We're in same situation - it's so nervous and just want a decision!!

22 Feb 2022 -Application submitted to Barclays
7 Mar 2022 - Mortgage approved subjec to valuation
14 Mar 2022 - valuation complete by L&G
17 Mar 2022 - broker emails to advise " underwriters had a question on the property address that has been answered. The valuation report did not include the full first line of the property address"

Now got to wait a further 2 working days 😪

Oh wow, such similar timings
Isn't it so stressful 

Have you been told the 2 working days as the time following Barclays getting the correct valuation report back?
I don't think they have received our report yet from the surveyors sadly

We went via a broker (not directly with Barclays) and it's three working days once report received. Our report was received electronically on Monday afternoon. We should of had our approval yesterday but our broker emailed to advise the valuer didn't imput the first line of the property address correctly on the valuation report so it was queried, confirmed and now been told 2 firther working days. Fingers crossed by Monday will know 🙏

Oh good to know, thanks
We also went with a broker, but their tracking system doesn't show that Barclays have even received the survey report yet, I'm not sure if this is correct or it just doesn't update at that point. It's possible Countrywide surveyors are just very slow...
Sounds like we'll be looking at no earlier than next Wednesday then going by that, that's disappointing

If you know you're tracking number, you can check the status online. Tried to post the direct link but it won't allow - bit google Barclays Track It and then select 'Track a case'. It will show if they have received your valuation. Your broker should be able to provide the case number if you don't already have it.

I must admit,  the Barclays track it system isn't the best and updates appear hours after they've actually added the update but saves hassling the broker too much.

Good luck and keep us updated 👍

I don't think I have a tracking number, I will find that out so I have another thing to keep checking obsessively 
I realised today that I could use Experian to view any credit checks, I was surprised to see there weren't any so it seems they haven't done a hard credit check yet, have they done one for you yet?
Good luck to you too 👍

I don't use Experian, but my hard search showed on Credit Karma on 22 Feb the day the broker submitted application. I've learned from here Barclays do hard check at point of application via broker, so you will of been credit checked by now (they wouldn't of agreed your application subject to valuation otherwise) 😊

Chloe27895

Well that's what I was thinking, maybe Experian just isn't very good! I thought I'd use the free trial they do so I could see credit checks but it's obviously not that helpful!

Chloe27895

I have checked credit karma and yes, it was done the next working day after we applied 👍

Have you had any update? We've heard nothing from our broker yet 😔
