My experience is one that is on going.
Valuation completed last August 2020, and I am still waiting to complete the mortgage!!! Even though I am an existing borrower of there's (borrowed from them in March 2020) The underwriters still ask some silly questions. I was informed underwriter had left who was dealing with my case and was not allocated to another underwriter until I kept asking what is happening with my mortgage, this was Oct 2020. So we started again and had to answer all questions again to new underwriter. Then there was a fault with there portal to upload documents, now we are into December 2020! Mortgage offer finally arrived just before Christmas! but expired 19th Jan! Then Kent Reliance had the cheek to ask me what was the delay in completing this mortgage!!!! They have come back to me early Feb to ask for MORE documents which promptly sent back and now its 1st March 2021 and feels like no closer to completing this mortgage. 8 months for a simple mortgage! (not even a purchase, mortgage of unencumbered property). It has been a terrible experience I would rather pay little more interest and got to an lender that is competent. I strongly advise looking elsewhere!
