What LTV % triggers manual underwriting?

AlexanderFM1993 · 2022-06-07 16:41:21

As it says, generally speaking, what percentage does one need to borrow to trigger a manual underwriting? I see that many mortgages don't go through manual underwriting and that they are automatically approved in many cases. Also, does amount being borrowed matter? (even if a large % is covered by deposit)? Thanks!

You said one of you became employed at a company you co-founded.
If you were an owner of a business and then became employed not long before making an application - that is unusual. So it gets looked into more.

If you had remained as an owner, you would have just provided 2 years self assessments (or possibly accountants reference with clydesdale?) and it would have probably gone through fine.
