    If you apply for 2 more DIP's tomorrow that will be 4 in 3 days? Score will be lowered, possibly to the point of decline everywhere.

    Brokers have relationships with lenders that can turn that decline into an accept.

    Two things I didn't realise there! I didn't think 4 applications would have that big an effect on my rating!

    Thanks guys, I will bow down to superior knowledge and take your advice.
