    Not as far as I know.

    I only know of a handful of small private lenders for adverse credit now.

    One of these has very decent rates - circa 5% for an 85% deal. Ask Alexander Hall about these - I'm not going to advertise the names here, but if they truly are competent and truly INDEPENDANT (ha), they will be able to assist you.

    Not a joke, it really is as cheap as that.

    What rate would you charge someone with a higher risk of default, keeping in mind as an investor instead of lending to a riskier client, you could stick your money in an ISA and probably get about 5% return!!

    I remember, a lenders retrun is less than that 5% return after all thier costs!

    Bargain

    i find it hard to beleve there is a deal like that around for subprime.
    i have been looking on here reading the different posts lately and all of the mortgage advisors seem to state you need a 25% deposit min and even with that the rates are high.
