Remortgage needed with poor credit

I know times have changed in the adverse credit market, but I'm hoping to get a remortgage, I contacted moneysupermarket.com and they said that they can do nothing for my circumstances which suprised me a bit, so if anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated.

I jointly own a property which is valued at around £160,000, we do not have a mortgage as the house was gifted to us by a relative. We have a secure loan for around £15,000 and have just put plans in to have an extension on the house which would increase the value to around £230,000.

We are looking for a loan/remortgage for £80,000 in total to pay for the work and to clear existing borrowings.

We have no CCJ's but each have a default registered from around a year ago which is now cleared, we have the odd account with a late payment but most items on our credit files say satisfactory.

I've probably shot myself in the foot by applying for a few credit cards recently (and being rejected)

Does anyone know of any mortgage brokers or companies who would be able to help us in our circumstances.

Thanks..... Alan
