Hi,
We accepted the offer from my buyer who is renting over 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear from Santander (the buyers lender) about arranging a valuation survey. My buyer says Santander (unusually) completes the mortgage approval process before the survey. We are in a hurry to make sure we don't lose the house we want to buy. We have another offer for same price, from someone who has sold. Does anyone have similar recent experience of Santander doing things 'in reverse' and taking ages to do the survey?
