currently buying my first home.
I have already received notification from my bank that my mortgage provider has set up a DD from my bank account and I assumed this meant it was all going through, as I figured that they wouldn't bother setting up a DD unless they had approved the mortgage.
However, today I contacted my broker to confirm what was happening and they said this didn't mean anything and that lenders always set the DD before approving the mortgage.
I'm now so confused and disheartened as I thought everything was moving in the right direction.
It will be almost 2 weeks tomorrow since I put in my full application and I have sent in all the extra documents they requested etc.
I even started my MFW diary. :-(
no point to this really except needing a hand hold so I don't go insane waiting.
surely they don't just set up DD's willynilly and would have to have some indication that the mortgage was commencing before setting it up?

Some banks do set up the DD, it can happen where the application does then get declined. Its just an automated process for some banks.
Who is the lender?
Has the valuation been carried out?
If so, when?

But I cant say for sure.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

I’ve just got to keep everything crossed I guess and hope it is all going along okay and is just slow.ACG said:Sorry, I cant really help. I dont think I have ever used them.
