Exactly. Quite simple to do although if it wasn't for our broker having a daily catch up with the underwriter through the process the lender would have declined on the spot without giving us a chance to prove it.
Our broker spoke to the underwriter daily because the lender was known to do this sort of thing and the broker knew from experience to speak to them that regularly.
Using our broker got us an interest rate of 1.49%. I'm not sure how easy that would have been if we had gone solo direct to high street lenders.

Proving that you don't have something that the lender suspects that you do is quite challenging!
Fortunately, I'm guessing you were able to get a credit card statement to correspond with the payment?
