    well firstly that depends on what sort of a deposit you have? what price is the property? one default isnt too bad so don't expect an adverse mortgage. There are mortgage advisers who specialise in mortgages for actors and muscians, many of which have worked in your industry prior to becoming brokers.

    We have about 12000 deposit, our max Price we are looking at is 150,000 but more like 130,000. Would you be able to point me in the dirction of any of these advisors. Many thanks for your advice.
