    What bad credit do you have? Arrears? Defaults? CCJs? Bankruptcy?
    When were they registered?

    No CCJs, BR or Arrears,

    1) £15k of bank and credit card defaults under a DMP that we'd be looking to settle with a remortgage - defaults dated between 2012 and 2016
    2) +£5k of credit card debt that shows as "up to date" on credit report but which is actually under a DMP
    3) +£6k 'charge' on our current property from an old CCJ. The CCJ no longer shows on our credit report
    4) £18k mortgage - up to date

    We own 50% of existing property valued at £90k. So after paying mortgage and charge, equity of approx £66k.

    Married earning £35k and £30k pa.

    Looking to borrow around £115k to buy the other 50% of part-ownership, settle mortgage, charge and release enough to pay off debts.

    To be clear:

    Buy other half of house - £70k
    Pay off existing mortg - £18k
    Pay off charge -£6k
    Pay off debts -£20k
    Total borrowing -£114k

    against 100% ownership of a £200k property

    Thanks

    They were asking if anyone knew of a broker, they dont have one as yet.



    Most brokers that advertise they do adverse will probably do adverse.

    Brokers dont tend to advertise doing adverse for the fun of it as there is normally a lot more work involved. Have you had a look on google for local brokers who advertise doing adverse?

    you have 3 different values for the house.

    £180k(50% is worth £90k) then
    £140k(50% is worth £70k) then
    £200k(50% is worth £100k)


    Is is really shared equity based?

    There will also be costs buying out the other bit.

    Hope you don't mind me asking. Do you have kids or are those salaries just for the two of you. With such good earnings and "only" £20k debt I would rather just pay them off first and then look for a much better mortgage deal. Also if you have a history of debt (reasons?, sorted now?) I would prob not advice to make them secured against your property.
    finally tea total but in still in (more) debt (Oct 25 CC £1800, loan £6453, mortgage £59,924/158,000)

    I'm no expert, but from what I understand:
    • 180k - because whilst the Housing Association own 50% it's capped as affordable housing
    • 70K - because we've done so much work to the house, we were told we can buy the other 50% and they would take that work into consideration - double glazing, central heating, etc
    • 200k - because once we own 100% it's no longer classed as affordable, and that's what it's worth

    I don't mind at all. We have two (5 and 8). We are currently using our surplus to pay off debts as quickly as possible. But because he have a bit of equity we were hoping to release that and pay off debts in one chunk. Because we are part ownership, I don't think we can borrow conventionally against the property to release equity, without increasing our ownership %.
