Mortgage with CCJ

Before I get all the remarks about the current credit situation, I am asking for some advice from the many helpful mortgage brokers/financial advisors on this forum.

I am a first time buyer, currently have 1 CCJ (satisfied) no other debt, and I have found a house I am interested in.

Current earnings 32k

Looking at a property valued at 120k, able to get 5% deposit (kind parents)

Is there anywhere that would consider me for a mortgage?

Thanks

    Possibly Abbey (and I stress possibly). Can't think of any other lenders at 95% LTV I'm afraid.

    Sorry Chris, not in the new lending enviroment. I think at the very least 10% deposit.

    Lenders want only prime risks now, there simply is no market for higher risks apart from a handfull of lenders which require large depsoits and charge high rates.
  • Thanks for the replies, guess i will leave it a while and build some savings up then!
