I also had an extra docs request on 16 July (Wednesday), which were submitted pretty late in the day. I think about 4:30 pm, AND via an agency

Ok, so your initial submission was 2 days after me so perhaps that means your approval will be two days after (Friday). Also, my application was not perfect, I dipped below the balance of 500k at the end of one month (May. I think) and still got it. Sit sight!

Submitted through an agent on 14 July at around 5 pm. Submitted additional docs requested to agent on 16 July late afternoon (around 4 pm). This morning I emailed the agent to ask about the status and she said it is still in the "pre-approval stage". I think it would have been better to do it without an agent because that way you can - at as I understand - check your status by yourself via the website whereas with an agent you have to wait for them to get back to you.
