Me and a friend are looking to buy A property and hopefully build a duplex. We have a 20% deposit ready, only problem is that I have a payed default on my credit file. Been there for about 2 years and was 3k. Have a good income and consistent savings.
Are there any banks that would be easier to go through and is there anything else I can do to make it look more appealing? Have been told by a broker that it would 50/50
In the current lending climate, it is very difficult to find a conventional lender to provide development finance with a credit default. Even with no default there are quite a few hurdles to jump. Post covid, as everyone knows thew construction sector has some issues. As every week we are hearing about construction businesses closing. Therefore, i would recommed setting up your finances in a solid position. Also, possibly considering a credit removal company to work on cleaning your credit file. However, this is a mine field of unreliable operators where they take your money then dont deliver as promised. There are some companies that pay on removal of the default as well – i would consider these companies.
I hope this helps.
