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.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.

Starting point is to clear your existing debts. If your parents are agreeable.0
