23/06 - DIP given and full application submitted via broker
24/06 - Hard search carried out
24/06 - Valuation instructed
13/07 - Valuation booked for today
I had submitted all my bank statements, payslips etc etc to my broker and so far TSB haven't asked for anything else. When I spoke to the broker I asked if TSB do the underwriting before booking the valuation and he said he thought that they did. So, I'm hoping and praying that if the valuation goes well today then it shouldn't be too long before they let me know the verdict! The waiting is painful!! I'm buying a new build and I had read somewhere that sometimes valuations are quicker on these ones than older houses.0 -

Hi @goldhair86
have you heard anything back from your MB?
I have been told by builders that Valuation was completed yesterday morning.
