Refused a mortgage

Posts: 4 Newbie
We have just inherited a property worth 140,000 with a 40,000 mortgage outstanding on it. We have been trying to raise the money through our bank and with a broker, it now looks like no one will touch us with a barge pole. Can i get a family member to raise the money in anyway, we do not want to sell as we live in the property, advice anyone ??

There is a lender will do this but I'm not going to tell the competition here who!!
Thier rates are very high and should only be seen as a short term solution until you can hopefuly remortgage to a cheaper lender. Rates circa 18%, interest only. Any amount of bad debt is acceptable.
I DONT MEAN A BRIDGING HOUSE EITHER AS I DONT TRUST ANY OF THEM. This is a small family firm I got to know over years.
The rates are high but they have to be as they only tend to have thier clients a short while, but have all the same costs a normal lender has, so the revenue has to come from somewhere.
Be aware they charge up front for a survey and also a personal visit. The owners visit every property personaly.0
