Mortgage With Credit Score of 656

Hi,
I am looking to get a mortgage and have just completed a credit check.
My score is 656, I earn £28000 per annum and have £800 on a credit card.
I have managed to save £14000 as a deposit.
What sort of Mortgage could i expect if any? Or Is my score likely to scupper my chances?
I am really worried as I was looking to get onto the property ladder next year :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Ignore the score it is pointless.

    What does the data say? Any missed payments, defaults, CCJ's etc?

  • It shows an arrangement from January 2009 on an old bank account which i since closed.
    This was when my overdraft was cancelled and i paid it off over 3 months in 3 instalments.
    I'm actually gutted about this as I never knew it would have had such a negative effect/this wasn't explained to me at the time by the bank.
    I would have easily had got a loan off someone I know as it was only £900

    thanks

    What loan to value will your £14k mean in real life?

    Please obtain all three versions of your credit file and put them in front of a recommended "whole market" broker who comes recommended by friends/relatives...

    ... and if you are, stop paying for these meaningless "credit scores." as they won't get you a mortgage.
