The lenders these days are coming up with new excuse to reject request for money every single day. Here are five main situations when you may be taken as credit risks and turned down for your application:
1. Endowment Shortfalls
Lenders are making life difficult for interest-only customers. You could be refused a loan if your endowment policy does not cover the mortgage when you are applying on an interest-only basis, even if you no longer intend to use the policy to pay off the loan.
2. When Your Assets Are In Europe
Another baffling reason the bank or building societies may use to decline request for money for people with assets in Eurozone is that they have no way secure assets abroad and would be unable to value them. Meanwhile, the fluctuating currency exchange between sterling and the euro would make the situation worse.
3. When Your Loan Is ‘Too Large’
Even private banks are cracking down these days. Finding deals for borrowers who need a large loan is becoming increasingly hard. Lenders tend to come up with last-minute excuses to drop clients as they do not want to commit to large loans.
Many banks or fianncial institutions will now require you to invest your pension or make a significant deposit with them in return for lending, while some lenders are simply discouraging borrowers by charging more.
4. When Your Pay into a Sharesave Plan
To see a client like this turned down doesn’t make any sense, as they are trying to put money away, not squander it.
However, it just happens.
5. When You Are Self-Employed
If you are self-employed, especially if you recently decided to turn self-employed, to apply for loan from banks could be very complicated. Though the self-employed borrowers can still take out mainstream mortgages, they need to provide accounts going back up to three years to qualify.
