Three questions? [mortgage advisor

Applying for shared ownership with 10k saved and 5k debt not loans.
Currently using a broker.

1. How does grey APs effect your application to mortgage, done a credit search with equifax and found that my other half in 2010 had 6 AP months. (She did not understand the impact as she was a student at the time)

2. Is it even possible to get a shared ownership mortgage? With my circumstances.

3. Unarranged overdraft. I have a few last year these do not show on my credit report BUT do they effect my credit report? I dint even realise as the account was getting charged and then going into the unarranged.

    1) How old are they?
    2) I dont do Shared ownership so cant answer.
    3) Probably best to avoid whoever you bank with.

  • 1. There just over five years old.

    2. Shame :(

    3. Yeah I bank with natwest and I would not want a mortgage with them anyway.

    What do the underwriters see do they see I have gone in my unarranged over draft or is this only if they ask for bank statements.

    Not many lenders that consider shared ownership mixed with adverse credit.

    Most lenders want 3 months, but maybe up to 6 months.

    There certainly is enough to go at for a broker to look through the detail of the case.

    Best of luck

  • Thank you for your help.

    I'm just hope I get a mortgage. I've spent so much in rent and now to be asked to leave our current rented accommodation is a kick in the teeth.

    (She did not understand the impact as she was a student at the time)

    If she had the money then AP arrangements wouldn't have been necessary in the first place. So it's the effect of not the cause of.
  • AP as in its appeared on a credit file she has never checked her credit file before now.

    The AP was in the first year she was at uni, it was a credit card with natwest. The credit card that has the grey APS on was settled in 2012.


    I have only done credit check on equifax...??
