    is it worth just withdrawing my offer knowing it will not be approved still being connected with another mortgage?

    No. Having an existing mortgage does not stop you being approved for a new one. If you look at post no.2, I clearly set out the way an existing mortgage is dealt with.

    You need to tell the new lender you are currently party to a mortgage which you accidentally omitted as you will be removed from it before this one starts.

    They will take it into account, knowing it will not be continuing and it will be made a condition of your new offer that you be removed or that it be repaid on or before the completion of your new mortgage.

    You really could have done with some decent advice before you embarked on this plan. Hopefully you will be able to rectify it easily in the morning.
