Student Loan Default

15/05/2012 by Mark

Hi - Me and my partner are looking into getting a mortgage. We have a joint income of £110K and approximately £40K deposit. We would be looking at borrowing around 250-280K. Neither of us have any debts - my partner has a very clean credit record, though I have a five year old settled default on student loans (which I didn't realise I had until last year). Other than that I've had a few missed credit card payments but none in the last three years. What are our chances of getting a mortgage? Thanks.

Life. It's worth covering...

Why use John Charcol?

John Charcol is the UK's leading and original independent mortgage adviser.  Formed in 1974, we've seen the economy at its best and worst - several times - and have advised our mortgage clients through both.  The relationships we have built with mortgage lenders, many of which you will not find on the high street, mean that we make sure every single client has precisely the best mortgage for them.  We believe in individual advice for every client; after all, everyone is different.  And, with a service record that is second to none, we do this efficiently and with as little stress as possible.  To find out more about how we work simply give us a call.

  • Expertise - unlike comparison sites, we only do mortgages, so we are the mortgage experts.
  • Honest & Independent - unlike mortgage lenders, we will find the best mortgage option in the market.
  • Service - Moving home is stressful enough, so our job is to deal with the mortgage hassle for you.

Terms & conditions

Your initial mortgage consultation is obligation free. There will be a minimum fee for our mortgage service of £450, of which £150 is payable when you apply, and we will retain the commission from the mortgage lender. Alternatively, you can choose the fee only option which is typically 0.65% of the amount borrowed. The precise amount will depend on your circumstances and mortgage loan amount, and will be discussed and agreed before you make a mortgage application.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY DEBT SECURED ON IT
