    Morning all
    Ive seen so many people being declined at underwriter stage for failing credit or not meeting criteria surely this is checked before it goes into UW que? As a waste of our and their time? 
    My solicitor is writing to lender today as my buyer is threatening to pull out if we cannot exchange by the 10th December don't hold out much hope that this will speed anything up.
    Good luck today for those waiting 
    Our MB said a letter does help. We asked our solicitor to do it but she refused. 
    My solicitor emailed me offering i just need to get hold of my application number I think its because the buyers solicitor is on to her. Thanks for reply

    I'm Employed my husband LTD company. We applied on the 10/11 so long wait originally applied with our current lender 22nd June then got declined 9/11

    With Santander? 
    Yes
    Eurgh don’t like the sound of that at all, I’ve not seen many rejections from Santander apart from really complex cases or changes in circumstances (furlough etc). Apparently their DIPs are normally really secure, just another worry to add to the worry bank I suppose 😖
    I know I’m beside myself! 
    The whole thing is just stressful! 
    We had what I’m trying to convince myself is borderline good news this morning, it’s only ‘good’ though as it could have been worse 😂😂
    we were put back into the queue on the 9th November.....so although we thought we’d hit the top this week it should get there in a couple of weeks....around 8 weeks after the application went in, but no point in starting fresh with another lender. Just hoping that they start smashing through the queue 🤞🏻

    I can't believe how much everything has changed we got a mortgage in 2019 my husband only had company 18 months, 5% deposit 95% LTV with a small building society and 2 credit cards

    This time he's had the company 3 years, 69%LTV and no debt and struggling to find a lender to touch us.

    No the opposite meaning our 2019/2020 figures are double  the 2 previous years and so all other lenders would average the 2 years meaning our affordability would not be high enough for what we want to borrow

    If they averaged last 2 years it wouldn't be high enough but our MB advised santander will use latest years figures to determine affordability and not average so we should be OK but who knows!
