Mortgage end of next year or am I being too ambitious?


my credit score is poor however I have no ccjs defaults, but do have about 8 missed payments for nationwide 4 for each loan
I work for a bank full time and been ther about 4 years
Also when I went university I had lots of different accounts over 10 years now, this has now dropped off, however none of those banks would give me mortgages would they?
All debts will be cleared end of this year except nationwide and student loan 10000
Nationwide – 2
700 arrears (now 2000 arrears as they internally added on during payment hoilday)
End of payment hoilday should I let them rewrite the loan and just pay 200 or less a month get arrears transferd and use the money to clear other debts, however old debt would show as settled.
At least then only have one debt to worry about
Or continue paying 200 a month and slowly clear the arrears within 3-4 months
Next year my mum will help me with 10% deposit up to 10k, plus any savings I have and all debts should be cleared

Ignore the credit score and rating as it's not seen or used by lenders, it's the credit history they see and use when assessing applications.
You haven't said what your actual salary is as I know from the DFWB board you are paying a lump sum into shares where you work.
How much are you looking to spend on a property?
What year are the missed payments from?

It's pre-deductions affordability is based on. Generally 4.5x annual income is the mortgage loan amount plus your deposit on top. I'm not sure how it would work with your £500 per month share purchase from your wages.
Regarding your friend, depends on the lender as each lender has its own criteria, which is changing quite regularly at the moment.
Hopefully one of the resident brokers will be along later to comment.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
OP - Id stop “listening” to friends and believing what they say or lending them money, and take your own independent advice0

But I had 4 years of no missed payments or any other adverse either.
I think you will struggle with that many missed payments.
A broker will probably be able to place you but it'll cost you and it won't be cheap.
If you're living with your parents, stay there a little longer, save and ensure you keep up with your payments. How are you expecting to keep up with a mortgage if you've got 8 missed payments from this year alone?0 -
reality check
end of next year is 15months
gross salary is around £22k max mortgage will be ~£90k but you have this £500pm going out to the share scheme which will impact the amount you can borrow a lot.
You have £12.5k of debt to clear and save for a deposit(£15k-£20k) with £500pm spare
15 months @ £500pm is £7.5k where is the other £5k coming from?
deposit, there might be 90% LTV mortgage then but really need to be aiming for 85% LTV thats another £5k on top of mums gift(it is a gift?)
On you current SOA you need to magic up around £670pm to hit your target of debt paid off and a deposit.
(that's not counting the interest on the debts
You need to re think this share scheme as you are borrowing a lot of money to fund that some at 60% it needs to be a good scheme and a company that will see a lot of share appreciation to match that.

It wasn’t my debt so I missed the payments as I was waiting for my brother to be able to afford it, and before I missed he always use to pay me
Now I’ve took repsoiblity I would never miss a payment, I didn’t realise miss payments are even that bad as long as it’s paid off
That reminds me I had 4 missed payments on my aa credit card too this year, up to date now and will be clearEd in 2 months
In terms of the debts, hopefully I will get anthor bonus at work next year which was 2k
This month I did overtime so will 1600 to pay of debts so likely loans will fully be cleared 800 if paid of early and and a big Chuck of my credit card.
On top if my friend give me 110 a month that will go on debt,from December or any large chunck he may give me(owes me 6k)
Hopefully my brother will be able to give me 200 a month maybe more he’s done it over a year until he lost his jobs (both nationwide loans are his, in my name)
Also before I didn’t touch nationwide, brother just use to pay 200 a month now once all other debt is cleared I’m gona start hitting that with chucks form my slarey and his hopefully so could be paying of 500-600 a month maybe even more.
Also my mindset has totally changed before it was I just pay my debts he pays his debts.Now it’s I want to clear ALL debts in my name ASAP.
Expect student loan, I won’t do but would like to if I was rich

You asked a question and only provided part of the relevant information.
Still lots of If's
the string of very recent missed payments is not going to help and may mean adverse credit lenders on very high rates.

From quickly scanning your other thread - yes I think paying off your debt in 15months is ambitious, but doable.
I echo the others, your share scheme is the biggest elephant. Not only are you taking a big risk but it's hard to give risky hope when there is clearly an against the norm sensible approach in your money management. I'd say cash out the shares now in a way that is most tax efficient, pay off the debt and limit the interest payment. £12k - £5k (realistically £3-£3.5 after tax), then full £500 towards debt each month, then you can be debt free in 15-18months.
Can you get a mortgage in 18 months? The answer is yes but the question is should you?
You then have no savings at 18 months. Your outgoings at the moment has no council tax (£100p/m), home insurance (£10p/m), utility bills (£50p/m), TV licence (£12p/m), Water (£12p/m) and anything to keep you safe if things break in your home. You may become a homeowner but you'll still be hovering over the poverty line. I can't say it is worth it.
With so many missed payments assuming the market is still like what it is now you'll be paying 5-6% mortgage rates whilst others pay 1.3-3%. This is a difference between affording a £70k house versus a £100k house. And it's not just about affording, it is also the speed you pay towards the house versus lost as interest. And this is where the catch is:
You getting a mortgage at 18 month: Homeowner - Got subprime mortgage w high interest - smaller property - mortgage payment mostly goes to interest - 5 years later still owe the bank around same amount - at constant fear of negative equity - no room for any surprises in life that requires extra cash - always on edge - not enjoying life.
You paying off all debt at 18months then add 2 years of savings: Homeowner - Major high street mortgage low interest - bigger property - more of mortgage payment goes towards property equity - 5 years later at respectable LTV - have the flexibility to draw money out (further advance) against the property if emergency arises - with trustworthy backup comes confidence - enjoy life.
Your choice though.

I like option 2.
however what if I choose option 1 but rent it out then moved out in 2 years?
at least the I will be on property ladder, and everything will be paid for by tenants until I move in0
