mortage advice please

Options
i'm hoping someone will be able to give me some advice please.
my husbands disabled due to an accident at work,he received compensation and we bought our house outright,so we've never had a mortgage.
last year we've had a lot of money worries and were wanting to take out a loan against the house.pay everything off and start again.
as we had a late payment on an old bank loan we were put into the collections department of natwest.we are back on track with them now(and are out of collections) but have been told that we stand no chance of getting any type of mortgage or equity loan because of this.

    Have a chat with a broker to see what options you have. Dont apply at random to lenders as this may cause more harm than good.

    HSBC are just about the pickiest lender there is hence my comment about not applying at random.

    You may not get the cheapest rates on the market so it is important to find the correct lender for your situation.
