    It would be helpful if you could give us an indication of the reason.

    There's nothing in this thread so far which would make a decline likely.

    You are absolutely sure there are no associations? Not even as much as a joint search which may have created one?

    When was the last time you got all three of your credit files and scrutinised them? If not for a while, do it now;-

    Equifax

    Experian

    https://secure.wiseconsumer.uk.exper...x.html?data=00

    CallCredit

    which you should take along to a meeting with a good independent or whole market mortgage broker. Ask friends and relatives for a recommendation. Failing that, use https://www.unbiased.co.uk remembering to switch off "sponsored ads only" option so you get a full list, not just the paid-for adverts.

    The £2 statutory paper files will be fine. Avoid online schemes you have to pay for which give you your inside-leg measurement and call it a "credit score" as this is different to the lender's, the one which actually matters to you...
