What's the difference between discharge and settlement for a mortgage application?
Discharge is the formal end of bankruptcy, usually after 12 months. This is the date lenders count from when assessing how long ago your bankruptcy ended.
Do I need to declare an old bankruptcy even if it's off my credit file?
Yes — if a mortgage application asks directly whether you've ever been bankrupt, you must answer honestly even after it's no longer visible on your file.
Can self-employed applicants in Colchester with a past bankruptcy get a mortgage?
Yes, this combination is placeable. Darryl works with lenders comfortable assessing both self-employed income and a discharged bankruptcy together.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
