    Each lenders will have their own way of assessing people when they request to borrow money. This is their lending policy.

    If a case looks on the surface to meet this policy then you will be initially accepted.

    The application is then passed to an underwriter. An underwriter is a person who check applications and ultimately decides whether an applicant is somebody who meets the lending policy and double checks the application.

    If you are getting refused constantly then there is obviously something that is alerting lenders that you may be too much of a risk. Whether it be affordability, poor credit history or just that there has been something on the application that has conflicted with the lending policy.

    You need to speak to an IFA to see what can be done having done a full financial review on you.

  • how about rasie some captial from your house if you have a mortgages ? because if they got somthing to secure on it they are more likely to borrow the amount you asked for and it is really the equity you relase from the house

    hope it will help!
