Mortgage Application

Wonder if anyone can put my mind at rest a bit! We have had a offer accepted on a property, had a AIP beforehand and all good. During the first stage of the application they had a issue with us having a bit more debt than they would like so we have had to extend the term by 5 years. Not too concerned about this as we are keeping some equity back from our sale in order to pay the debt off so we will be able to overpay the mortgage to bring the term back down.
Anyway we have now passed the first stage and uploaded our payslips and now we have a appointment booked on Monday with the mortgage advisor which we have been told will take up to a hour. I'm just panicking that they are going to turn round and say no 😫 DH says it'll be fine as we wouldn't have got this far and passed the initial affordability if they weren't going to give us the mortgage but I just feel very apprehensive and nervous about it!
Can anyone advise what this second stage involves? We have answered so many questions already about all our outgoings, incomings, debt etc I don't know what else they can possibly have to ask us!!

They might just be doing final checks etc.
If the Advisor is licensed to deal in Financial products they also might try and sell you some protection policies.
We never even met our mortgage broker and certainly didn’t spend an hour with him

They might go through daily expenses like food, energy, childcare and discretionary spending to check affordability. Or have they done that already?

That is what a full advice process involves. Legally, an adviser has to evidence affordability so needs to go through all your expenditure and checking bank statements.as long as you haven’t missed stuff I wouldn’t worry too much.

Up to half of it will be them trying to sell you life insurance and critical illness cover.
