Banks legally have 21 days to decide on a mortgage — in practice they take much longer

Polish mortgage law gives banks 21 days to issue a lending decision, but Expander Advisors experts say this deadline is largely fictitious in practice. During periods of high demand, waiting times stretch considerably beyond the legal limit. The type of employment contract held by the applicant is among the less obvious factors that can further affect processing speed.

Should banks be penalised for missing the 21-day mortgage decision deadline?
