Anyone have a "BAD CREDIT MORTGAGE"? How much does it really cost??

Options
Ok so I'll try and be brief. Currently on a dmp and have inherited money. I'm paying off all debts. I have around 8 defaults all going on at different times. Last one around year ago. I'm looking for a mortgage as want to put money to good use looking at around 100k house with 50% deposit. I know I'm gonna have to see a broker just wondering what to expect really a month and application fee??

Also does application fee go ontop of mortgage or is that an upfront payment?

Am I likey to get a mortgage or is it best to wait till defaults are couples years old?

    No way of knowing re costs unless we understand the background of your case.

    You may be fortunate to get any lending. I don't think rates and fees are going to be the main issue.

    You cannot 'tell me' Jonny.

    Assessing your case correctly requires all the documentation and several hours work.

    All your history indicates that you are a poor risk Jonny. Not just on a single occasion but multiple times over an extended period.

    Your deposit ensures there is likely to be a solution to you buying. The detail will determine your rate and fees, although you may want to ensure any fees are only payable on mortgage offer/completion (aside from lender application/valuation fees)

    Yes good point about completion. Well the dmp has meant all creditors defaulted however all at different times. So all relates. As it would be me and partner could my partner get I their name then add me on later?

    The deposit is coming from you so that is unlikely.

    As dave says, there should be a lender at 50% LTV. I would expect nothing more than around 7.5-8%, but there may be lower rates available depending on the circumstances.

    Can I just ask I presume I'd just take mortgage for 2-3 years and renegotiate better deals as credit improves?
