Are you both a limited company? Yeah I don’t really understand as if 2 years ltd wasn’t enough why did they not refuse it at the beginning, how long have you been trading?Katemb94 said:
I'm sorry to hear this just catching up on the thread, I hope your appeal goes through OK . We also limited company and they only used 1 years accounts. Really best of luck 👍85c said:
We were told the same. I think if it wasn’t covid we’d both probably be ok.26C said:
I have 2 1/2 years ltd company. the first year shows less profit as it was half year sole trader half company. I think it just depends who’s desk it lands on as i was told the advantage of Santander was they only use your last years accounts but seems like criteria has changed again.85c said:
Oh no!!!! How many years do you have? We submitted 1 year sole trader 2 year ltd company.26C said:
we was declined from halifax for not having enough accounts for ltd company. 🙈85c said:
Do not go to Aldermore they are even worse! Us to! We are going try Halifax.26C said:
Its a joke really. We was about to try aldermore just before Santander but i see you had no luck there. we would be happy with any offer at this point.85c said:
Why is it so much harder for SE people. We are a ltd company, please keep me posted if that’s ok I have everything crossed for you.26C said:
They wasn’t happy with our last year accounts being so long ago so business manager said to get our 2020 accounts into companies house.85c said:
Oh no! What a nightmare! Why did they decline you?26C said:
we have just had an appeal submitted and it took 24 hours to submit but know we are in the re-assessment queue at 6 days long.85c said:
Sorry I remember your wife is a hair dresser, our appeals must have gone in at the same time, apparently it’s 24-48 hours so we should know tomorrow but who knows. I’m not holding my breath!Keefe93 said:
I'm sorry to hear this! I know how you are feeling. I wonder if the same business manager is looking at our cases as we were told the same thing before we put in the appeal! Fingers crossed we both get a bit of luck in the next few days...85c said:That’s what we said, the Santander business manager said she doesn’t know why they turned it down which is why she’s appealing.0 -
So I'm Employed but my husband is ltd company trading for 3 years. We applied for a mortgage 14 months ago with Santander on our current home and it was declined due to not trading for 3 years and we ended up going with Leeds building society but your totally right they absolutely should refuse at the beginning but I'm pretty sure that they do accept 2 years or less otherwise your MB would not have submitted hopefully they will overturn and you hear early next week85c said:

Our full application just went in last week - am I right in thinking it will be about 3 weeks to go to the underwriters? I was hoping we would hear before Christmas, but am guessing that is unlikely!0
