  • Hello Richard

    Sub prime is a very specialist area and what could be classed as heavy subprime with one lender could be medium or light with another

    can you give me some more details about your credit and I will try my best to help you

    Depends on your situation and how bad the credit is

    Are you sure you need to self cert - there are a lot of lenders that that can agree mortgage amounts based on an affordability calculator which may help get a better rate than on a self cert

    Considering Kensington - Id rather rent first... Appauling company - you get in trouble with them and you will regret the day you went with them.

    Give more details and see if there are anymore options as described above.

    It would help if you posted details of the adverse credit like dates and what if any has been paid off etc
