Options

We applied for some monies to do some home improvements..Online we saw the options to borrow more,however we went through our broker to do it.
Current LTV was 26%, we were looking to increase it to 44%.
I recieved a letter saying thee enclosed a Mortgage Illustration, a declaration form which needs tu be signed and dated and an information for mortgage customers booklet.
There is nothing saying it's approved, but our advisor seems to think by receiving this, it means it's approved...
Has anybody else been through this?

Why are you questioning your Broker?I am a Mortgage Broker
You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Broker, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser Code of Conduct.

sounds like a mortgage offer received, mortgage broker and lender would definitely be more than clear that they have approved you and issued an offer, so you shouldn't have any doubts at this stage of the process, if you're not sure, just send your broker a clear question: "does it mean my mortgage offer is issued?" that should leave you with a clear answer0

Thanks, my broker had said they think that meant approval. However I spoke to the Halifax about something else today and asked how things were progressing, they said they were still waiting for docs from broker etc.0
