adverse history, large deposit

Options
Hi,

Both myself and my partner have a number of defaults from 2012 due to a failed business.

Currently, I am employed PAYE with a salary of £40k, my partner owns a business and is making around £20k which she declares as a sole trader.

We are looking to buy a house in the spring with our parents. We have £30,000 as a deposit and they have £100,000.

We are looking at properties of c.400k.

Any advice is appreciated.

    Your parents will also need to be named on the mortgage. So their circumstances are relevant too.

    The age of your parents is a complication which will leave you with limited lending choices.

  • Yes, the mortgage term available to 65 year old parents could be 5 years max so the monthly repayments could be massive.
