HSBC - Life Time Tracker Special Fee Free

Options
Hi

We are interested in taking out the above mortgage.

Thing is I had a loan with HSBC in 1999/2000 that ended in a dispute but no legal action was taken.

Now that 10yrs have passed will I be able to get a deal with HSBC?

    I'm no expert but I would say it has as it only stays on your credit file for 6/7 years so you should be fine.
  • Just a quick question.

    My partner is pregnant but is planning on returning to work once the baby is born.

    If we go into one of the high street banks to arrange a mortgage will they offer us less if they see her bump?

    A broker said he could get us a deal and we wouldnt have to ever see the lender?

    Noticed this deal earlier and wonder how it does/will compare with Chorleys 5.25% 2yr fix for 90%LTV for friends of ours?

    Is affordability an issue then?

    This is actually stored on the internal HSBC system! What will happen is that your mortgage application will actually have to approved by a credit officer. Be upfront to the adviser so that they can defend your case!

    I dont think so.

    My the loan amount is only actually 20k over what they would lend me on my own.
