should I try a broker

If my lender refuses a mortgage application its currently with underwriters would it be worth considering trying a broker

Comments

  • Depends on the reason why they decline you.

    If you can fix it, do so before re-applying.

    If you can't, then whether it is something specific that your particular lender doesn't like but other lenders might, could be known by brokers.

    A broker will have a good idea where to place it, but with most lenders these days, you are more likely to get accepted going to them direct, rather than via a broker

    If your application is refused, see a broker with a copy of your current credit file, don't start to make random applications with different lenders as that will harm your credit profile.
