Reduce application rejection risk with mortgage broker, Deal Direct.

As one of the UK’s leading mortgage brokers, Deal Direct are specialists when it comes to mortgage affordability and the rules and regulations that govern them.

To someone who is unfamiliar with the market, it can appear that mortgage affordability terms are in constant flux. As each lender uses its own criteria to stress test your applications, the lack of a consistent approach can make it difficult for a borrower to know which way to turn.

In an effort to level the playing field and maintain underwriting standards, the Bank of England has stepped in and tightened the rules. 

The previous rule had lenders use a 3% increase in their base rate to test borrower resilience, however, the lender could choose whether this applied to the rate at the start of the mortgage term or the one it reverted to. This has now been changed to a 3% increase in the lenders SVR.  

The change could mean a greater risk of your application being rejected, more so if you fail to seek expert advice.
