    Only other option is look for a different lender.

    Did they advise why they declined? Did you fall outside criteria for some reason i.e. adverse credit?

    Based on what you have posted i.e needing a 20% mortgage and the income multiples needed, you should be able to find other lenders, assuming there is nothing obvious in your application that would make the application fall through

    By remortgaging. Are you looking to increase your mortgage? To pay off other debts or build an extension for example.
  • Things to ask:
    a) Have you paid all monthly bills on time and in full?
    b) Do you have any other debt that has accumulated or not been paid off alongside your mortgage?
    c) Any HP/loans etc on top of the mortgage?

    Are you re mortgaging to a different amount or are you re-mortgaging to free up capital in the house or to get money to build an outside heated swimming pool for example?
