Can I join this? Trying to remortgage to Halifax.
13/08 AIP received
14/08 Full application submitted with Halifax advisor, which has been referred!
Strangely though the valuation has been done electronically and the advisor said that was sufficient. The house is actually worth about 215k and they valued at 267k giving a ltv of about 48%.
Other than that affordability is good (they said they could offer another 50k) and we have two years mortgage payments behind us.
Negatives are my partner has a 5 year old mobile phone default (£48, Settled) and their system says we aren't showing on the electoral roll even though we are on all credit report providers.
Really worried now though as it's been referred :-(. Should hear back on Thursday.1 -
