CCJ and a mortgage

Options
Right been looking all over for the right advice and just cant find it anywhere and was hoping someone on here could help.

I have a CCJ against me, and to be honest a very poor credit rating all because of a few mistakes when i was younger.

The question is, is im a first time buyer and wanted to know if it was possible at all to still get a mortgage?

Regards Lee

    I've got a CCJ I've had a bloody nightmare trying to get a mortgage. There's two lenders I got recommended by my broker precise and kensington. Slight problem with precise is that they don't like gifted deposits even if its from your spouse so I'm now waiting to hear back from Kensington. I would go and speak to a broker best of luck!

    Firstly OP, loving the fact you chased after an hour and now a day later you have not answered any questions that would help determine your answers.

    Secondly, Gilly - Why would your partner not be on not be on the mortgage?

    I suspect the answer to this is the issue for Precise and potentially will be the issue for Kensington.

  • Kensington have no problem with gifted deposits BUT they will not leave spouse off application - additionally gifted deposit from someone who will be living in property is a 'no no' for most lenders.

    Both Precise and Kensington specialise in decent credit with bad events rather than " very poor credit rating all because of a few mistakes when i was younger" as the OP indicated.

    He defaulted a few times on his credit cards and his score is ridiculously low around 200

    Then Kensington will not like it either.

    When were the defaults registered?

    Forget the automatic credit score numbers as they are worthless.

    Are you mistaking a default notice for a default?

    A lender will often send a default notice for a late payment. This in not a default. Typically, you'll actually have a default registered once you miss three consecutive monthly payments.

    The borrower's credit file will show exactly what happened. This should be given to your broker for their opinion.

  • Hi guys, sorry for been so impatient was just in a panic, and also rushing to get out.

    My income is £25000
    Plus my partners of £2700
    Looking at £105000
    £5500 deposit
    CCJ is from when i was 18 im now 25 and got issued it just over a year ago, its far from satisfied as of yet. I think theres about £2000 left to pay.

    Regards
