My appeal results came as fail again due to the personal loan searches I have done during the mortgage application process. I was told by the advisor to leave my application open and try again after a month so by this time the searches might be with no value.
Does anyone know how long do the positive searches take to be with no value ? Is it really 30 days ?0 -
Where did you so the searches that resulted in credit report entries ?0

Lack of electoral roll registration will be an issue in itself. As it is what links you as an individual to a particular address. That enables cross referencing and checking to be performed. Without it simply not possible to verify your credit status.0

Unless you have done loads (and I mean loads) I cannot imagine you are being told the truth
As suggested, competent broker makes this issue resolvable I would imagine.
Wait 30 days is just a blag from someone not wanting to give you all bad news.I am a Mortgage Broker

I'm also not a citizen (but have ILR) and can definitely say that not being on the Electoral Roll causes a lot of problems. I have flawless credit, high income, and a stable job that I've been employed at for 7 years. However, I've still failed 'credit checks' quite a few times. Due to this I have checked my statutory reports, which are also perfect in terms of what they show. So, I can only assume it's an electoral roll issue in my case anyway. That usually is a blocker at the computer credit check stage, though, and not the underwriter I would think - it's quite easy to prove your address to a human being via utility bills and the such.
Whilst I'm not an IFA of any sort, applying for a personal loan at the same time as having a mortgage being processed definitely seems like it would be a very big red flag.0 -

That's not the issue from a lenders perspective.0
