Quick mortgage question

Options
Hi all,

Got some great advice in another section here re bank charges so going to give this a whirl to see if any of you informed peeps can chuck any good ideas my way.

When I split with the other half bout 3 years ago he left me with loads of unsecured debt in my name. After struggling for 18 months I consolidated it all in a re-mortgage on a rate of 9.5%. This rate was apparently the only one availbable as I had a CCJ to thank my ex for.

I have no other credit at all and am now looking to remo again in bout 6 months and TRY to get a better rate.

Issues are 1 CCJ, income of £15k a year + some working family tax credit £300 all in a month.

Poor credit rating

Need to find a lender if pos that will lend me £180k vs a house price of £250k

I know this is a hard ask but any ideas of a lender that may give me a look in would be great.

Thanks for any time and advise.

    You're needing nearly 10x your income which isn't going to happen I'm afraid - no lender will do that. I'm surprised your current lender approved it - I hope the income wasn't exaggerated?

    Just the interest would take all you salary. On the face of it you cannot afford it.

    I'm curious to know how the OP is even making mortgage payments at the moment - surely there must be some other source of income not mentioned as even on interest only the mortgage payment alone would deplete all the income.

    Very confused. The interest alone at that rate on 180k is over £17000. We cant be getting all of the details here.

    Doesn't appear the OP is bothered about replying.
