5% deposit with default?

leiigh25

Does anyone know of any lenders that will entertain the following adverse credit:
I have a CCJ - Registered in Jan 2014, satisfied same year.
My partner has a default - Registered June 2015, satisfied the following year.
The problem we are facing is that to do 5% we have been told by most lenders that my partner's default has to be over 3 years old (so June 2018)
I know we are only a couple months away from that but we have fallen in love with a property and wondered if anyone knows of any good lenders/brokers that could help us now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Even over the 3 years in a couple of months, I'd be very surprised if you were accepted at 5% with a CCJ and recent default on your credit files. Fitting lender criteria is one thing, but being accepted is another. It will be subject to the lenders internal credit score. You will already be deemed high risk to the lender based on the deposit size but will also be applying with a couple of previous credit issues. If not possible on the high street you may need to look more specialist lenders with a larger deposit; 10-15%.
