First Time Buyer CCJ

Hi

My boyfriend and I are looking to buy his nana and Granada’s house. However he has a CCJ (which is satisfied) and no other debt. I have an excellent credit score and £800 on a credit card. Combined income of £40k.

How likely are we to get accepted for a mortgage? We have a 10% deposit and only need to borrow a relatively small amount (£67,500).

Thank you in advance.

    When was the CCJ registered?
    When was it satisfied?
    How much was it for?
    What was it for?

  • It’s 2 years old satisfied in September and original amount was for 751. For a contract with Orange.

    It can be placed, it is a little hit and miss as to whether it will be normal rates or not though.

    It is probably one for a broker as it has only recently been satisfied and it is a fairly large amount.

    You may well get accepted, the issue will be that you'll inevitably be paying a higher rate-what can you afford?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    A broker should be able to take a look at the credit reports and set your expectations in terms of rates fairly quickly.

  • We have no other credit or debts apart from my credit card which isnt a problem so financially we don’t have many responsibilities.

    We spoken to a mortgage advisor who is currently speaking with a few lenders to see what sort of deal we can get with the CCJ

    How much more do u think the interest would be?
