mortgage help required please

My girlfriend is wanting to get a mortgage soon, she is looking to borrow 65,000 for a property valued at around 90,000.

Her gross income is 11,750 per annum

She also gets various tax credits

She is looking for a lender who would offer 100%

Is there anyone around who could help her?

    How much is she actually buying the property for if it is valued at £90,000?
    Her gross income is 11,750 per annum

    Is she Employed or Self employed, full or part time? What does she do for a living and how long has she been in current employment?

    Can you give the types of tax credit, and how much she actually gets?

    Please clarify the actualy purchase price as above

    Depends on the replies to the above. Based on just her employed salary then it is unlikely that she will get £65,000.

    The ok, this is JUST about doable, but there are only a handful of lenders who would look at it would recommend your g/f takes professional advice
