New Mortgage-help

Options
HI,
My OH is going to get a mortgage on his own as I have a poor credit rating. the only problem is his basic wage isn't much but he does regular overtime. Would a mortgage company still take into account my contribtion to the household income when deciding borrowing without me going on the mortgage and affecting the interest rate.

    I do not think so, but I think you should seek advice of a Mortgage broker, there may be alternatives to add you to the application if the credit history is not too demaged

    You cannot exclude somebody from a mortgage application and then use their income.

    What is your bad credit and from when? How much are you looking to borrow and what purchase price/valuation?
