Advice about getting a Mortgage

Hello, just after some advice really im looking into getting a mortgage got an Appt today. We have been given a house to but on the Homebuy scheme. We have to provide a mortgage of £69,000 with no desposit as they are accepting the equity loan as a depsoit.

I have checked my credit history online and nothing seems bad at all to be honest, everything says ok. We have missed payments in the past and had credit refused in the past (this is What im worried about) and this is what im worried about. My credit score is 569 which says is poor, so how likely do you think it is going to be that i will be Accepted for a mortgage ?

any help or advice would be great thanks for your help:j

    You'll need to wait what they see but I'd think having a poor credit rating will mean you don't have much of a chance.

    I would guess you may have a bit of trouble with that score. I may be wrong but brace yourself.
