Credit history and mortage

Options
Hello,

Having been unlucky we now have 3 hard searches from mortgage applications on houses purchase that fell through. I also paid for the valuation on my credit card as I was told this would have no effect of my credit score.

We are now apply for a new mortgage 4.6 x income and getting worried it will effect our application. btw its 61% ltv

    You have been unlucky, but eggs and omelettes as the saying goes.

    Can you save a bit more to bring the LTV below 60%? That may give you a better rate.

    No idea re the hard searches question though, sorry.

    If you need a mortgage now. Have another score done now as required.

    We don't know how tight your scoring is but we wont find out until you run a score.
