Bad credit mortgages

Options
I have a bad credit rating; I'm in a debt management and, consequently, have accounts in default. But I am making regular payments. I own a property (mortgaged), which I have a consent to lease for. I rent that out and I am currently renting myself.

My parents have offered to lend me some money to put towards buying a house but I am concerned that I will not get (another) mortgage.

My plan would probably be to pay off my remaining debts with some of the money and then use the rest as a deposit. My deposit would be about 30%.

Is it possible, given my bad credit rating and the fact that I already have a mortgage with a consent to lease, to get another mortgage?

Which lenders would likely lend to me?

Can anyone recommend a broker with experience in bad credit mortgages?

TIA

    Theres not really enough information ti give an idea but I get the impression the DMP was started a couple of years ago. Assuming the defaults are over a year or 2 there could be options.

    Grab your credit reports and get them to a broker with experience in bad credit mortgages and they will be able to confirm within minutes if there is a chance.

    Many thanks, could you recommend a broker with such experience?

    do you have enough equity in the rented property to move it to a BTL mortgage? (possible increased rate)
  • I don't think so 🙁

    Starting point is to clear your existing debts. If your parents are agreeable.
