Figures are the programme maximum at a glance. A file rarely qualifies at the maximum on two axes at once, and the guideline in force on the lock date governs. Nothing here is a commitment to lend.

Questions

Asked on nearly every call

Do you take a DU refer with an approve/eligible LPA?

Yes — run it both ways and send whichever comes back eligible. A refer on one engine is not a decline on the file.

Are manufactured homes eligible?

On a case basis and only where the agency guideline allows it. Send the appraisal and the desk will confirm before you order anything else.
