I have just had an update that valuation has been booked but no request for further information yet. Hoping valuation is a positive sign...It definitely is a good sign I’ve been told as Saffron pay for the valuation themselves and generally take a very common sense approach to lending. We were initially rejected by another high street lender (Santander) because they couldn’t understand my locum pay.. and took 8 weeks to figure that out. Saffron were so much quicker (minus the glitch with the missed valuation).Hope you get some good news soon !0
