Bankruptcy - Now What?
Mortgages for Bankrupts
It is possible to obtain a mortgage after bankruptcy. In fact it's often easier to get a mortgage after bankruptcy than other forms of credit because the loan is secured on a tangible asset (the property).
When you get a mortgage after bankruptcy you should be very careful about the cost of the house you are purchasing. A house payment that is too big may be just a recipe for another bankruptcy. If you have already been through a bankruptcy you know how hard it is to maintain over extensive payments.
Additionally a mortgage payment that leaves you overextended will often have repercussions on other aspects of your life such as retirement, holidays and emergency purchases. It can also leave you vulnerable to another bankruptcy and foreclosure on your property.
Getting a mortgage is your decision and the right decision will help keep you away from a second bankruptcy, we recommend that you seek professional advice from a qualified independent financial adviser and ignore the sale spiel of the estate agent. Do not be pushed into buying a property that is realistically more than you can afford.
