Hi guys
Just looking for some advice. I havnt got the best credit in the world but would love to buy a house. How "do able" is that? Does it just mean i pay a higher rate of interest? And whos the best people to go to to apply?
Hope you can help

You'll probably need a 20-25% cash deposit tooI was born too late, into a world that doesn't care

What is the issue with your credit?
Any CCJ's?
Any defaults?
Any missed payments?
There are mortgages out there for people who would fail high street lenders. Need a decent deposit though and recent good history.
