Once all lenders are in and the graph of our results is complete we can then turn our attention to getting a greater understanding of what factors were considered in each lender result. 

In particular, which factors you input in step 1, ‘The Form’, did the lender ‘Ignore’ and what ‘Assumptions’ did Affordability Hub make on your behalf. We call these ‘Ignored Fields’ and ‘Assumptions’ and they can be viewed in the detailed results below the graph.

It’s in these sections you will also be able to see any excluded lenders and why they were excluded.

Finally in the event that a lender failed to run due to a technical reason or similar then they will be found in the ‘Lenders Failed’ section at the bottom. 

The next part to understand is how to store the research you have completed. To print or download the results you need to click the red ‘View Full Results Breakdown’ button below the graph.

Note.

The rate at which the results are returned from each lender will vary and whilst you can pretty much view and download the research pdfs right away if all lenders results are not yet in then some will be excluded from your research. For this reason, we advise waiting until all results are in before saving your research.

We’ll cover generating a pdf in the next article ‘Topic: Step 6 - Storing your research’
