Today's the day of completion on my new mortgage.
I've spent the last week chasing the building society asking them why they've rejected the application. They've over and over and over again said they don't know, and that the case has been referred to a "special team"; a team so special that they cannot be contacted by telephone, only email, even if the personal trying to contact them already works for the building society.
Anyway mere seconds from close of business and yesterday they finally explained that the answer is they never rejected it at all and that they were mistaken all along, or something.
At a total loss to understand how this has happened. Today I'll either get my mortgage as normal, or end up paying the monthly payment twice to two different lenders, or possibly my house will be nuked from orbit. Genuinely can't decide if it's funny or tragic how the lender has dealt with this. They've got the best rates though, so...
