Hello
This my first post here. My husband and I are hoping to get a mortgage for around 2 times out joint income. However I have 4 defaults from 2012. They are all satisfied.
I am aware we may be able to get a mortgage with s sub prime lender but saw this on the Barclays site
More than 3 satisfied defaults* and the latest is registered within the past 3 years
Satisfied defaults* totalling more than £200 and the latest is registered within the past 3 years
Does this mean they would consider our application or would it be rejected because I have 4 defaults?
Thank you

Looks like it fits criteria to me, just remember fitting criteria and being accepted can be very different. It may be worth trying to ask their advisor if they think it is likely to pass the initial credit check based on their experience.
If I am using a lender I do not use often, I always ask my account managers that. Some just say they have no idea, others are quite honest and will say if they do not think it will fit.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.
