Mortgage without a job

Beckyjot

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help! I am desperately wanting to get a mortgage. My divorce settlement is due any day this week. It is a good amount which means I can put a deposit of around £60000 down. I've seen a house I love for £150000. The trouble is I'm not working at the moment. I have 3 children (one is 4months old) and I'm doing an open university degree part time from home. I do have a financial consent order signed by the judge which shows that my ex husband will be paying £1000 per month maintenance as well as letters showing my child tax credits and child benefits. I have been to one mortgage broker who has managed to find me a deal but I would need £75000 deposit as apparently the lender won't take one account my financial consent order.
Any ideas? Any suggestions? Please help!

you will find it difficult to get lending on no income with 90k needed. Even if they took your maintenance your still very short.


Why not wait until you have a salary for a few months and then try again, as Lenders can only go on what you earn
