Can you get a mortgage with a debt management plan?
With an active DMP
It is possible to get a mortgage with an active Debt Manangement Plan (DMP) but the liklihood of being eligible for any mortgage application will heavily depend on what credit issues,
if any, led up to the DMP. If credit issues prior to the creation of a DMP include mortgage arrears, eligibility for any mortgage application reduces
dramatically. If you do fit the application criteria for eligibility any mortgage offer may include the condition that the debt underlying the DMP must be settled on completion. But this is
not always the case with some lenders allowing the DMP to continue and run it's course.
If the DMP has been settled
The longer the DMP has been settled the easier the placement of any mortgage becomes. If you have just settled your DMP you can expect LTV's to be below 85%, and, depending on
how you managed your DMP, this could go as low as 75%. There are many factors that can affect your
eligibility for mortgage application when a DMP is involved, so let us start assessing your eligibility by getting in touch .
