There are many individuals who are afraid to "shop around"
for a mortgage. They are simply happy that they can buy a
house at all. This feeling is magnified if they have real or
imaginary "skeletons in the cupboard" in the form of
impaired credit history. This might be because they simply
forgot to pay one of their utility bills on time and were
unaware that this could lead to a County Court Judgment
without their knowledge.
Other have had financial difficulties in the past often
connected to marital splits, business situations or medical
problems and are now model payers. Others may have mortgage
arrears but are adopting an attitude that the problem will
go away. The answer is that it won't and you would be
advised to seek guidance as soon as possible.
For all of the above, mortgages are possible but expert
guidance is required. At Mann Mortgage we realize that not
every customer is "A" perfect and may not qualify for a
regular conforming loan. In fact, many individuals have "not
so perfect" credit, poor ratios, or income that can not be
verified. This does not disqualify you from being able to
obtain a mortgage loan. We are set up with many
"non-conforming" lenders, and we will do our best to get you
the lowest interest rate possible for your situation.
These types of loans work differently than regular
conventional loans in that the loan-to-value and the
interest rate are based on the amount of risk the investor
has to take in order to approve the loan. There are a few
different ways the investors assess the credit risk on each
loan, so to find out where you stand, please contact one of
our loan representatives and they will be happy to assist
you.
