    Settle your defaults and then apply?

    This should be the reason why they asked for 5% more no ? They are worried that you'd not pay for the mortgage. So they require you to put more risk down.

    OP you made the mistake of getting a conveyor belt Mortgage Broker L+C, they do not do adverse credit well and you will be in the bottom pile. They like volume and easy cases to make money, hence why they are free.






    The second mistake are your defaults and not settling them, you will be seen as high risk to lenders understandably.


    Did L+C ask for all 3 credit files for you, if not that is poor form from them again.

    more info needed,

    salaries, house price your buying, negative credit history e.t.c???

    Was there a negative housing survey?


    I would add any other debts, what defaults are there, how fast are you paying of the debts or increasing the deposit.


    and most important how much do you think you can afford each months without getting into trouble.
