Help Advice Needed

We are in a trust deed and still have a mortgage, a family member is going to help us buy ourselves out of trust deed in Aug, will we then be able to sell our house and get a new mortgage? We have no arrears, but am worried about credit rating.

Any advice greatly rec'd

    Hi

    Take it you are in scotland and are referring to the scottish trust deed which is similar to an IVA?

    Once you are discharged and you have your certificate to prove it you will be able to sell your house and get another mortgage, however, you MAY not fit with a prime high street lender

    Saying that a lot depends on timescales, I got a mortgage at 95% loan to value with abbey for some clients in East Kilbride who had been discharged just short of six months

    The best advice anyone could give you is to seek the advice of a professional mortgage broker, preferably a scottish one who will be familiar with the trust deed and your legal process
