Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Norton conveyancing solicitors are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative done the survey? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
