    That is how I would read it, but it has been a while since I have used Aldermore. 

    If you fit level 1, have you tried elsewhere? Level 1 is for those people who are generally borderline high street or potentially little building societies. So you could potentially be looking at rates much lower. Have you spoken to a broker? If not, it might be worth just getting a second opinion.

    @slou123 This is what my Aldermore BDM responded a few months ago to almost this very question -  "if the default is on a mobile phone contract, we can ignore it subject to passing the DIP and underwriting". Their criteria pages states this more unequivocally - that comms defaults will be ignored.

    I didn't use Aldermore eventually as the purchase fell through and by the time the client found a new property, he qualified for a cheaper product with another lender.

    @acg what building societies are most likely to be a fit for someone who is aldermore level 1 eligible but not quite high street?

    I cant really say, it is all dependent on the details. Its one of those things where you probably need to sit down with a broker and a copy of your credit report.

    Also if a mortgage passed AIP and pre underwriting are chances good?
