Quick question

Hello, if a loan application of £12500 is rejected with no negative factors on my credit report, I work full time with a reasonable salary and have a mortgage, is it worth applying elsewhere and if so how soon is too soon?
I applied only today however thinking ahead just in case. Thank you

  • It may be, as lenders have different criteria.

    However, it would be worth sense checking whether you're likely to be accepted anywhere. For example, £12k on a £20k salary probably isn't going to fly. Likewise with a lack of credit history.
  • use money supermarket.com, they'l do a soft credit check and give you a rough indication as to whether a particular lender will loan you the money
  • It says 90% chance of acceptance. My salary is just under £31,000. I’m not too worried at the moment. My application was with Santander. If the application is rejected is ‘safe’ to apply elsewhere straight away?
  • Apply elsewhere and if rejected twice, leave it a couple of months.
