can anyne give me advice on getting a joint mortgage when my partner has had an IVA??

Just wondered if anyone can give me some advice.

I have a good credit rating and have had a self cert mortgage for the past 4 years.

My husband used to have a bad credit rating and had an IVA which was paid off a year ago. He has no debts or anything now.

We are happy with our mortgage but we would now like to move to a bigger house, i cant borrow more on my existing mortgage as it is a self cert so obvioulsy only goes on my earnings, our combined earnings are very good and we can easily afford a bigger mortgage but we need to find a mortgage company that will take us both on as a joint mortgage.

Does anyone know if we would get a mortgage and if so who would be best to use??

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

    Who is your current lender?

    How much was the IVA for?
