Joint Mortgage with one party post DMP

I'm 18 months post DMP with 'youngest' default 4 years old. My husband has a perfect credit score and history (my debts are from before we met & we have no financial association).


We currently rent and want to buy our own home. Will our combined history make it difficult to get a mortgage i.e. will high street lenders reject us?

    It will depend on how everything appears on your credit report and the finer details. If everything is 4 years old you should have options.

    Definitely one for a broker. Get all your credit reports in a row and present them to a good broker who knows what they are looking for and what they are doing.

    Being married creates an association. What yours is their's and what their's is yours.

    Not necessary. If no joint accounts or credit are currently held.

    Married couples however can pass assets between themselves at will.
