    I don't understand why brokers won't provide copies of documents as a matter of course. The NatWest tracker isn't particularly good but it's better than nothing.
    I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

    My broker said that they would review additional documents by the end of yesterday or today (4/5). Our case is complex as my partner is a director and I am employed within his company. We have not received any letter. Hope you will get your decision asap.

    Yes our letter has the mortgage ref on it. I had a look at the tracker but it doesn’t really tell you much. Just confirming receipt of documents requested from the broker. I need to give them my gifted deposit letter today so hopefully that’s the last thing.

    when I checked in with my broker the other day ,
    now reading what the tracker says I think he was just reading off it!

    i wouldnt use it to chase NatWest, that’s what I’m paying my broker for!!
