London & Country

Hi
Has anyone had problems with London & Country dragging their heels? I applied for a remortgage through them some eight weeks or more ago, and having been declined by their first recommendation in the first week, they have still not managed to get me a mortgage offer. Our credit history isn't perfect, but nor do I imagine is it the worst. Anyone else had a bad experience with them? I specifically used them because of Martin's recommendation, I now wish I'd never heard of them. Any advice or comments welcome,
Thanks

Even some high street lenders will give you a mortgage, however their criteria are strict. The absolute worst case is repossession, however if you've just got a CCJ (County Court Judgement) or limited arrears, you may be lucky. If you’ve a big deposit, it’ll help.
