Mortgage Application

Options
Hey Everyone!

I'm currently looking at buying a house with my girlfriend.

I do however have a 5 year old default on my account for £42.00 which has been settled.

I also have some payday loans which I took out around 2 years ago, again all settled.

My Girlfriends credit score is spot on with no missed payments.

We have saved a 15% deposit.


What do you think the chances of getting a mortgage are>?.

    Based on the above only... you can get a mortgage tomorrow. Getting a mortgage at normal rates I would be 90% sure of. Definitely not one for every lender but im sure a few high street lenders would look at it.
