mortgage issues - poor credit score

[loneb]

hi all i have been looking to get myself a mortgage - i wont go into detail of how much etc however i was wondering if anyone here has got a poor credit score and was still able to secure a mortgage. If so, who did you use?

I have spoken to CMME and they have said no. I have sent my details for Freelance Financial however will probably not know now till next week.

Is there any other brokers who would consider poor credit score contractors?


thanks in advance

There are only a little a limited never of mortgage providers for contractors, Halifax, Clydesdale, Virgin and maybe one or two more. It's them that are your problem not the brokers. You could go to every single one of them but they will just offer the same same limited products. I'd see what FF says first and then re-asses your options. Going to other brokers isn't going to help.

Have you looked at the cloud tags with "mortgage" in them? Another couple of names in there.

Though if CMME said no you will struggle. Have they indicated what you can change to help?

Figure out what's causing your bad credit score and whether you can improve it.

I'd start there.

WHS

Just bring with yourself a few of those and buy for cash.

You should be fine if you can manage to be financially "clean" for 6 months, with no missed obligatory payments, and you aren't maxed out on any credit or debit cards. I believe those are the main criteria they use.

If that is the case already, and you have no drastic financial hiccups like bankruptcy or unsatisfied court judgements for debt, and no major ongoing expenditure such as student loans or maintenance payments, I don't know what to suggest besides getting a permanent job even if only temporarily.
