Joint mortgage with satisfied deafult

Options
Hi - I am looking for some advice if there is anyone out there that can help..

My partner already has a mortgage with Nationwide and we are currently looking to add myself to this and buy a new property.

I have a satisfied payday loan on my account from 2020, before it was satisfied there were quite a few default payments. As this is on my report now until 2026, will this affect my chances of being added to a joint mortgage? 

There is nothing else adverse on my credit file.

Any comments/help will be massively appreciated :smile:

    i would wait or your going to bring their credit file down
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    What do you mean by "default payments"?

    A default is registered when there has been a minimum of three consecutive missed payments. The amount and date are added to your credit history. Late/missed payments are usually reflected by a one, two, three etc depending on the number missed.

    How these will be viewed by a lender really are dependent on what is visible. Get a copy of a credit report and put it in front of a broker.

    ... and not to be pedantic you aren't being added to a mortgage if you are moving. You will be applying for a new joint mortgage and possibly porting an existing product to that new mortgage. A broker can assist with this, too.
