    Mine was a bit fiddly but it took 8 days to come through after the valuations stage you are at
    @Tiredbutdetermined Did they as reference from your employer? They sent a letter to my employer requesting the confirmation of employment. My HR team have replied them back today.
    Hi, 

    Are you a first time buyer and using a mortgage advisor? Or are you going directly?

    Reason I ask is some people on this site have had a full mortgage offer from Skipton in 4 days when applying through an advisor.


    It was through broker.
