hi
A friend of mine had cancer and is now in remission. He has been cancer free for 5 years. He now wants to buy a house and is really, really struggling to get a mortgage. Bank and building societies have not been very helpful. They will only take his girlfriend's salary into consideration. Can anyone help or give recommendations
Thanks

if he has income it shouldn't be an issue - not even any need to tell the lender. Life insurance is where he will struggle.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser code of conduct.
