Mortgage application

Hi guys,

We have a joint account that all my wages are paid into and then have an "Allowance" each month sent to a separate account of £300. When supplying bank statements, would they want to see statements for both accounts or would the joint account suffice?

All seems such a struggle to gain the right information.

    Prepare everything, send them what they want.

    The lender may possibly wonder what the £300 is used for. If it's above board then no problem. If you are trying to conceal something then the reverse applies. Common sense really.

    The Lender will probably ask where the £300 is going.

    Be prepared to evidence that.
