In the past, a discharged bankrupt mortgage might have been more easily accessible, but lenders have become stricter about who they lend to, requiring proof that you are able to repay your mortgage, so being a discharged bankrupt will make getting a mortgage a lot more difficult.
It is important to remember that lending to discharged bankrupts is higher risk and as a result the lenders will have stricter criteria in order to protect themselves, so if you are able to get a mortgage deal, it will generally result in higher interest rates or a decreased Loan-to-Value or both. The good news is that if you can get a discharged bankruptcy mortgage, it can help you to rebuild your credit history.
In order to be granted discharged bankruptcy mortgages you will need to:
-
Be prepared for high interest rates
-
Be discharged for at least one year
-
Have a significant deposit
