Hello. They have come back saying they are not happy with the affordability. In our MIP they said that they would. Lend us money to pay of debt which would free up about £800 a month and now they are using these debts against us. Has anyone had this please. I hope this makes sence cause it's made my head spin. Thanks0

However, I always say Bluestone' affordability is "quirky". The way they assess you at DIP stage and application stage differs. So it is possible the maximum loan amount will change between DIP and application.
But I would be surprised if it was due to debt being cleared. That being said, did you include all debt? Mobile phone handsets is one debt they are quite big on compared to other lenders.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
