Should I apply without the second job?

Daniboy1

I need advice!!!! Please. So in march we decided to apply to santander with one years accounts. Broker was positive he could do it!  We applied self employed accounts, and a second income from employment( my partner has a job as a merchandiser, basically making sure stock in factory of clothes are delivered and made on time. Altogether he earns 60k are year. They rejected him. Applied to Halifax and accord, they both rejected. In all of this I was saying 3 rejects are wrong for broker to do, there's a pattern here. Fast Forward to June I asked him to go with another broker, this broker has a great reputation! They corrected the error on accounts which broker picked up on so accountant fixed it and we applied with nationwide. They asked for 6months pay slips, and 6 months bank statements and his 2 Yr self employed accounts. Asked for employment contract. Went to head office for decision, rejected again. (arrhhhh) 
Now option, 1) rent for few months and apply from natwest (he Banks with them last 15yrs) however only apply with self employed accounts and not his secondary job and go for smaller house. 
Option 2- apply with natwest, apply with him and my name, however my credit file has very little history.
Your answers are really appreciated as I'm soo confused now.
