    Near-prime? They will rob you, offer ~7%, then up it to 11+% :eek: Think what you are letting yourself in for :o
  • Advantage may help but many have pulled out. If you fix it they wont change it to 11% will they! Think of how long it will take to become a high street client again and fix it for that long if pos. See it a credit repair program. Also KMC may help! A whole of market non fee charge broker is what you need. Find a local one as you need to sit in front of them for this one! Get a cresit report done ready also!

    How do you know you are Near prime? You may have been near prime with that particular lender but all lenders have diffrent names for their sub prime deals, and different criteria - so you could end up with a better deal elsewhere

    What is it on your credit file that has made you near prime with that lender? Defaults? CCJs?

    Well on that basis, some lenders will indeed be happy to class you as prime clients.

    Have they all been satisfied?

    several high street prime lenders may look at this, as long as the incomes etc stack up - don't get forced down the "adverse" route unless you have explored all the alternatives first

    On that basis I would have a word with a fee free adviser to see what they can find for you.

    What deal were you offered?

    Which lender was that? Did you specifically want a 10 year fix?

    Also difficult to say, without knowing the purchase price, what you gross salaries are, and if yuo have any other debts in the background
