What about high mortgage lenders with a low income
Me and my partner have credit score of around 450 each. We are self employed with an income of 85k. Would i be able to get a mortgage and what percent deposit will they ask for. Thank you.been watching the channel for a while now.
Would you still recommend me waiting till my partner returns to work before potentially buying a property
Hi Alex thanks for the all the videos,it’s any chance please to have a chat on private trough the phone please thanks
My direct dial is 03333446869
@@alexkerrmortgage thanks Alex
Self employed approval?
at 1:47 --- I've just gone through this process as a first time buyer, as a couple, and we've got decent jobs in the south east. This entire process is damned, dumb and short sighted (I'm still a bit raw from the ordeal if you can tell.) - "[they] Started looking for properties first before xyz" -- we were all but forced to do this because we couldn't have a sensible discussion with a lender without first knowing the value of the property we wanted to mortgage against. -- I wrote a lot more but really this is the point. It's an awful system.
If im not a first time buyer and my partner is not and we are both aged 43 and a 3rd applicant is first time buyer can this work
Yes possibly…. If you want to have a relaxed free chat to see if it’s possible, book a free chat with me here - link.alexkerr.co.uk/mortgage/ftb
Hi Alex , I have a loan until 2029. I’m paying £438 a month. We are moving to the UK from Jersey Channel Islands. I have a £57k salary but my wife doesn’t work at the moment as we have 3 young kids. How long do we need to wait to build credit history in the UK ? As I heard Jersey’s won’t count. Some say 12m. Will I be able to get a mortgage for £100k based on my wages ? Thanks
Mortgage amount not an issue… if you have any uk credit lines now then it could work immediately… book a free chat with me here if you want to check the options - link.alexkerr.co.uk/mortgage/ftb
@@alexkerrmortgage hi again , unfortunately I have never lived in the UK , only Jersey Channel Islands, have a Barclays Bank account but that’s an island account too not a uk one. Will the personal loan affect my application?
This video helped us massively in preparing to buy our first home. We had everything ready, including the mortgage in principle as advised, and this made us a better choice for the seller even though they had a higher bid than ours. We completed in 3 months thanks to being prepared. Really appreciated this video. Thank you
So glad this helped and made the difference! Sometimes it’s all about marginal gains. 👍🏻
If the deposit is short of 1000£ mortagage declined?
Hi can you expand in that a bit, not 100% sure of the question. Thank you!
@@alexkerrmortgage@ for example i need a deposit of 20,000£ for processing my mortagage application but actually i am having a deposit of £19,000. This may cause rejection of my loan?
Not illegible or not legible?
“Not legible”
my annual income 13225 i worked 26 hours a week manthly 104 hours can i get first time buyer mortgage plz answer my qustion
That’s not enough info to answer the question. You get roughly 4.5 times your income. Does that help ?
Thank you for all the information!!!
You are so welcome!
Great content as always, your advice is super helpful and totally appreciated, Alex.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Good video again!
Thanks 🙏
Hi there, what about right to buy scheme, when they are going to reduce the discount. Please advise ❓❓❓❓
I believe with immediate effect but like always government are not always clear with timescales.
Hi how about re-mortgaging if you have defaults just over 12months old? In my case it would be a joint re-mortgage with my wife who has no defaults. Thanks
Yes that should be fine. Feel free to book a free chat about it here to look at the possible options - link.alexkerr.co.uk/remortgage
So now it’s already difficult for first time buyers to save up but now if they change the stamp duty rates it means it will be even more difficult as we will have to save even more
Yes indeed not great news, let’s hope they change it. It’s still ok upto £300,000 though.
@@alexkerrmortgagejust not many 2 or 3 beds for that where we live.
If you are looking to buy a house for more than 400k then you don’t need the support others do. First time buyer doesn’t always mean you are skint. And just because the average house price in London is above 425k it doesn’t mean you have to buy one at that price.
Yep true.
I'd like to see something like corporation tax relief for companies that build homes, relative to any increases in the volume that they can build, although this is only off the top of my head so I'm open to criticisms of this approach
Yes that’s a great idea for sure!
I didn't quite understand the stamp duty changes. I'm hoping to purchase a £430k house before March 2025. How much stamp duty will I need to pay?
That will be pennies if you complete on time…. Circa £259
Thanks for your videos. I'm a first time buyer currently at the start of the process. Hopefully it all goes well. I'll have a look at the solicitors you've provided
I can't find the link for the solicitors. Do you have it?
Here you go! www.mortgagechain.co.uk/quoting-portal
Good luck with everything. Any questions let me know!
In Scotland the rules are very different. All offers have to be made via your solicitor in writing. Once under offer aka offer accepted, then gazzumping is not possible.
That’s a great rule. Do you have a timescale to complete ?
@alexkerrmortgage we nearly purchased in Scotland and got legal advice from a lawyer in Glasgow then pulled out and decided to stay here in Canada. The UK is in far too much of a mess for us now thanks to your awful government. We are staying here in BC!
Im not sure if you can advise but i swapped banks in 2017, i can get statements from 2014-17 which shows an increase from 10 to 20k, and could get statements from my student loan company to show rhe other parts are my maintenance loan and grants, do you think that would cause an issue? I also have three other issues in that i have several paypal transfers in from selling hobby items totalling around 8k, which could be supported by paypal gooods and services receipts and also i pay some of my fathers bills online and he gives me cash so there are a few cash deposits randomly over the years of 2k. I can show that have good income coming in ans my total deposit would be around 45k, do you believe this would cause issues? Any advice appreciated
Do you earn income from this “hobby” ?
@alexkerrmortgage nope nothing at all, my only income is from my full time job
Very insightful, thank you so much.
Thank you for watching, glad it was helpful!
Whats realistic for a 50 year old guy with a £45k deposit and ive never owned a property. i earn £25k a year and my experian score is 860
Borrow just over 100k over 19 years or 24 years if you make pension contributions. Could you work with that ?
I love your videos! I am self-employed and would like to buy a property. Can you create a video for self-employed company owners?
Thanks for watching! Ok we will get a self employed video on the requested videos list! Will copy you in once it’s done. Alex
Thanks a lot! I am waiting for it!
Funny how everyone that does not like these taxes live in 1/2 a million pound homes or rent out 5 houses... Look - the Bank of England pulled billions of £10 notes out of a magicians hat only made legal because the government said they could. They gave those trillions to their rich pals and the poor did not get any of the money to increase their wealth or reduce their rents. It was a disgrace and those trillions must be brought back into government and given to improve the life of the poor with more infrastructure and a better way of life for them. Who in the UK would like to argue against that? Also, the governments House Price Index was calculated with a statistical calculation (all house sales in the month of say July 2021 to all the house sales in 2022) that included 13 months of data and they called it 12 months or in the last year. This is prove of the Ponzi scheme led by banks and the government and was even reported in a way which meant bankers could add another billion to the housing stock to allow them to pull more false money out of the magic hat. This is the worst era in the history of economics in out country and the worst deregulation was introduced by Labour. You will not see this reported anywhere because of the cover up of the Ponzi scheme. My maths and my calculations - I could be wrong - but you do the maths and tell me I am wrong? By the way, I am not a Labour voter and have helped both my children with massive deposits instead of buying a million pound house myself. Do not care if you believe me or not.
Interesting points.
videos are great

So checkmyfile is saying my score is 300 but Experion say my score is 606. Checkmyfile is saying things that aren't true.
Checkmyfile is a reflection of all credit files (Experian and Transunion as well). I wouldn’t worry about this score, it’s about the history… is checkmyfile pulling all of your data in ? What’s not true ?
@alexkerrmortgage I'm sorting out my pre telephone call information but wanted to check if shared ownership schemes flatly refuse bankrupts? I have all but £27k of the property price so obviously need a bridging mortgage.

Hi good video thanks for sharing. I’ve got myself in a messy position of having several credit cards, was making the minimum payments fine but it got to the point where they were all running out of the balance transfer interest free period and would start accruing monthly interest. So I spoke to a debt charity in the UK I’ve setup a DMP with them and it seems my creditors have frozen any interest whilst they make payments on my behalf after I pay the charity which is a huge help. However, just 2 payments in and I’ve been sent default letters as the payments are now below the minimum payment. So if that goes on my credit file it’ll stay there for 6 years. My worry now is that I’ll have issues re-mortgaging in Jan 2026 (joint mortgage with my wife who has no defaults or credit card debts). I’ll see if I can avoid the defaults by paying the arrears and then upping the monthly payments to the charity to match the minimum payment as I’ve managed to get a better paid job and start in the next month. However as I’ve signed up for the DMP, I’m now not sure if I can do as I mentioned and avoid the defaults or whether I’d need to come off the DMP and speak to the creditors directly 🤦♂️
I’ve been checking rightmove quite often for the past 6 months ish and the market appears to be very slow with a lot of properties getting reduced regularly, I’m in Teesside area.
@@Manos-de-Piedra yes there’s lots of mini markets over the UK. Interesting to see they are still being reduced in your area… south east / london has seen prices reduce over the last few years but now levelled out and starting to hold the asking price now.

Hi you said don't search for properties before your mortgage is ready: how can you get mortgage ready you don't know what property you're going to buy and how much it's going cost? Meaning how much to borrow? The council give the opposite tips: get your house evaluate first and then you have 12 weeks to sort your mortgage or accept the offer. Thanks
It sounds like you’re thinking of a “right to buy” in which case it’s different. My advice is always to first time buyers, which you are as well… if your looking at buying your council home then yes get the property valued and then check if your can get a mortgage to afford the property….
This is true, I’m 21 poor background and have over 4 properties that create £675 per month, Just by starting young safe up lad, success is for everyone👍👍👍👍👍👍
