I believe I'm right in saying that our mortgage company has finally received our completed mortgage documents. These documents are the FOURTH SET of documents to be issued by our mortgage provider.

Goodness knows what happened to the first set; our local mortgage broker allegedly sent the second set off to us while we were away but it never arrived (it was posted, not couriered, so may yet appear at Dad's place if the UK postal strike ever stops!); the third set was sent off by the mortgage company directly to Michael in Dublin but I found the fourth set at home when I got back from holiday, signed it, had it witnessed and also sent it off to him in Dublin so that he could sign it and get it witnessed and send it back directly to the mortgage company...

When you consider that we first went to see them on July 30th, it took until 10th September to get an approval letter out and that the date on the fourth set of documents was 24th September but that they returned to base on 2nd November, you can see it's been a slightly stressful time of waiting for us and for our superstar builder!
