Barry, in case it is of any interest, I have used London & Country mortgage brokers (by phone) a couple of times and found them to be excellent (Anita in particular.)

If your adviser doesn't come back with a positive, perhaps they are worth a try. Obviously I don't know about your circumstances, but there are the sub-prime lenders too - like First Choice, GE Money and Precise. Obviously, you don't get the best rate with them, but they are more flexible in terms of financial circumstances than other lenders.

You aren't looking at a huge sum, so hopefully it is doable in some way.

Take care Barry :-)
