You may well need to approach a specialist mortgage lender that deals with adverse credit. Expect to pay a far higher rate than a mainstream lender though.0

If youve had a mortgage advisor on it then its unlikely we will be able to help any further...presuming your advisor was able to do their job.
There are people who lend with a default, but it depends how much, how long ago, when it was paid, have you had other credit since.
Could you not obtain the mortgage in your partners name alone?I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Hi there,
There are too many variables to offer information and broad advice thus far. You may jut get unsolicited offers of help... and it may not be qualified.
Tell us more and will give a better explanation of your chances.
Property price
loan amount
income details
default details and if satisfied
where has deposit come from
This should be ok for starters, never give up the at the first no thanks. Also, what lenders have said no will help...I am a Mortgage Broker
