    Hi Psycheacat

    Sometimes it can mean you get better rates depending on the type of bank account etc. In regards to salary multiples the lender basis it on an affordability basis so there is a chance you wont be able to borrow the amount you need. You may fit Natwest criteria but do you have any other credit commitments?

    Just read the terms I am NOT touting I was just about to put an apology on this forum section. I have only started posting yesterday so I do apologise if this comes across the wrong way I am by no way touting for business and will ensure my replys comply accordingly.

    With or without reading the forum rules... you must know the procedure/process before any "advice" can be given.....does IDD ring a bell

    At least you post it in the open forum, VIGILANTE should know better than lecturing other people on touting for business, hes the king of pm's asking or touting for business, sojust ignore him like everybody else does.
