Today, 6.37 pm	Out with my daughter today - get an email from a lender saying case is declined. We were not doing anything important just at the shops. It was getting on so would have been heading back 10-20 minutes later anyway. Come home, try calling them - no answer (its a small lender). Wo...

Today, 2.21 pm	Potentially one for Barclays? If I recall, they don't have a minimum time remaining criteria. Worth a call, if anything!

Today, 12.45 pm	hi any lender likely to consider - both on tier 2 mrs skilled worker mr only dependent income 42k and 25k and ltv 85% or 90% if possible thinking a no unless someone knows a magic lender any help greatfully received
Today, 12.43 pm	You wouldn't want to see the unofficial factfind that exists in my mind, that is applied on the initial "lets see if you make the grade" call. The "you have to help absolutely everyone due to consumer duty" brigade on here would have a dicky fit
Today, 12.36 pm	I've been thinking about giving it a trial and see how it goes. £450 upfront is a fair whack but all depends on the quality I guess. Feels a bit like storage wars, paying for something but not knowing specifically what it is you're buying.
