    Sorry, scraping the barrel now as honestly cannot get my head round it. If one item has been keyed incorrectly, it will give a false return...

    Only remaining option is that the Woolwich isn't interested in the new business. Given that the OP has a right to port terms on the existing mortgage. So only get out is a low offer. As there is no reason for decline based on credit rating.
  • We are seeing a financial adviser next week, but just wanted a quicker opinion.

    No csa, no car finance, nothing at all....

    What we 'Asked' for was to keep the £32,000 & have an additional £50,000.... They suggested we keep the £32,000 on the old rate then they would loan only £25,000 on top on a new mortgage.

    I'm sure we could get a loan for the rest, but it's a bit frustrating as we'd prefer to just have the 1 debt & after years of saving never missing a mortgage payment & being 'well behaved' on credit record... We can't see why they wont give him a little more.

    A decent adviser will sort this out with Woolwich for sure...

    There will be options elsewhere which will be a lazy solution. You should be able to get this through will Woolwich, so your FA should sort.

    All the best

    As previously advised just make sure you engage a "whole of market " broker-the answer is there and they should be able to find it for you.
    Don't rely on a bank that you think may give you an offer based on your previous "loyalty".It just does not happen these days.
    Good Luck.:)
  • Somethings odd......only last week Barclays/Woolwich offered me 4.4x salary(as that was the max I needed) and the guy said its quite common for them to go that high?

    Personally I think its too high but not according to the bank.

    Do you have a reserve on your exiting mortgage.

    I wonder if they were lazy and just looked at your pre approved.

    Don't forget the costs of moving.

    Was £130k a fast sale valuation.

    What rate does the current deal go from/too in two years?
