The two and half weeks includes the time it took for the initial application, offer confirmation and your referencing checks (~1 week). Al of which we processed immediately. Only after the referencing checks were complete was I told I needed a guarantor by Justyna (not before). That time/delay is on you.
My guarantor pulled out as he was concerned for his liability for the whole property, not just my share, which I tried to explain to him but your form gave him cause for concern. It's irrelevant he decided to pullout - I acted in everyone's best interest to try and find a guarantor.
You didn't offer any new options and showed no flexibility with the guarantor requirements. I had no other choice but to pull out.
As you say I was not able to meet your requirements; though I was more than willing. I would ask that you consider what money you actually lost through this - we filled out the referencing forms ourselves so you've effectively made £300 for doing very little/ nothing.
