    Unfortunately this will go through. Porting a decrease and improving yours and lenders position irrespective of adverse will more often than not be agreed.

    I agree. A strange comment. More so as the taxpayer has a sizable stake in the lender.

    Also find the comment odd also?
    Using my equity to move to a bigger house,pay my debts and reduce my mortgage.
    What's wrong with that?

    Predictive text, sorry. This should be a no brainer for the lender.

    Enjoy your offer.

    If it does go through and I hope it will I would give the mortgage brokers a nice little courtesy call :-) good luck!

    Sounds like that Brokers you found have little or no experience with Adverse credit.

    Similarly, we had a client today with 4 months mortgage arrears who have been submitted to our Spanish Friends by an incompetent broker.

    Just a quick update, halifax have contacted my wife's work to check her salary and the account numbers of the creditors we intend to pay.
    Seems like a good sign?

    Both of them had over 20 years experience
