We’re in the middle of buying a new build property and our mortgage is with Nationwide. We’ve been told the CML will be issued next week, but we’re hearing that Nationwide usually need 5 working days to process the paperwork and release the funds. The issue is that our builder can only offer completion on the 22nd or 23rd, and that’s the latest they’ll go before Christmas.
Has anyone been able to get Nationwide to release funds quicker than the standard 5 working days? Or had any experience of this happening?
