Seems not much has changed in seven years.
When I bought my flat, two identical offers were decided on which party got the lender's survey arranged quickest.
I was lucky I had a great IMA on the case, who knew it could take Virgin up to two weeks. Halifax typically did it immediately, even though their rates were marginally higher. I had offer accepted next day.

Virgin have said that it will take them 2 weeks to instruct a surveyor, ??? for the suvery to take place, then 2-4 weeks post survey to finalise their decision, so god knows how long ours is going to be delayed now.
Our buyers application was sent off last monday, survey on saturday, and the surveyor that came here said he fed back to the mortgage company within the hour, so fuck knows what virgin are playing at
