What are Natwest’s requirements as a mortgage lender

Natwest is stricter than other mortgage lenders regarding bad credit history. They don’t typically offer mortgages for customers with debt management plans, poor credit file or mortgage arrears.

Their mortgage approval rate is comparable to that of most UK high street lenders. They conduct thorough eligibility checks and due diligence about affordability and reject applications that do not meet set criteria.

What should you do if Natwest declines to mortgage you

Here are three steps to keep your homeownership plan on track if Natwest rejects your mortgage application.

1. Do not reapply. Keep your horses! While it may be tempting to submit another application immediately, keep in mind that too many requests can adversely impact your credit score. A mortgage broker can help you determine the best lender to approach and how long it takes to wait before approaching them.
2. Learn why Natwest decided no
   You can gather all the information about your rejection to help you plan a solution for any issue Natwest may have. If there was a problem with the property, ask for a copy. You should also download credit reports to ensure they are up-to-date, regardless of whether bad or good credit is behind your rejection. This could help boost your prospects and give you an idea about what Natwest saw in your credit history.

Why does Natwest stop making mortgage applications

• Too little deposit

When this article was written, the maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for Natwest mortgages was 90%. You will need to deposit at least 10%, or they may decline you. Many first-time buyers and those with low deposits have been left out. However, don’t give up if this is you. It may be possible to obtain a mortgage without putting down more than 10% elsewhere with the right broker.

• ‘Severe’ bad credit

Natwest may be strict with customers with bad credit in certain situations. It can be difficult to get a Natwest mortgage if you have a County Court Judgment (CCJ). Customers who are in debt management programs often have a mortgage application declined.

For borrowers who have defaulted or have too much debt, it’s the same story. Natwest usually considers this credit search “severe” and will decline a mortgage once the agreement in principle (AIP stage) is complete. If evidence of such a problem emerges during underwriting by the mortgage underwriter,

• I just started a new job

You may be denied a mortgage loan if you have a new job or want to borrow money based on your salary. Natwest will usually require a pay slip as proof of your income. If you have just received a raise or promotion, the same rules apply to borrowing based on those earnings.

• Use for your payday loan

Most mortgage lenders don’t like payday loans. This is especially true for Natwest, which will not approve a mortgage application from anyone currently paying one. Natwest will not approve you if you have a clear debt record. Even then, you will be subject to rigorous mortgage underwriter scrutiny as questions about your money management and mortgage repayments will likely be raised.

• Problems with the property

If there is a problem with the property, Natwest may decline to approve a mortgage offer. It could be because of the construction. Natwest will not lend to properties that are constructed with prefabricated reinforced concrete. BOPAS accreditation (Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme) is required for any property classified as non-standard construction. The property type could also be the culprit. They don’t lend to modular homes, for instance.

Some people get a Natwest mortgage that is subject to valuation. However, the deal can collapse after the final survey checks are completed.

• Other reasons

Natwest may reject a mortgage application for a variety of reasons. You might be under the age limit, have made an error in your application, or have deposited from a source Natwest doesn’t accept. Talking to a broker who specialises in mortgages will help you find a solution.
