  • I have put people with Barclays who work in pubs, cinemas, and retail.  All closed, and 3 full payslips of furlough with no return to work date.

    You will be fine

    Thanks, gives me a sense of relief. Wish I used your services as a MB now. My one has been useless so have had to go direct.

    Something for applicants themselves to consider too. You are best placed to make the decision. Furlough doesn't provide immunity to redundancy in the longer term.

    I know , definitely agree. We would still have over 30k left in savings so do have a back up plan just in case

    You could try Platform (The co-op)
    @DeletedUser Have they changed their policy recently? Last I checked (a few weeks ago) Platform's policy was to not consider an application from applicants who are on furlough leave.
    I thought they removed furlough from acceptable income around September 2020, but when I was near completion my broker told me that platform were still accepting furlough applicants, and this was in mid November
