Response to advice wanted, want to buy our council house, was repo in 1995

My advice is to be honest. If you tell lies on any application it could come back and bite you on the bum later.

I was rehoused in 1997 after my home was repossessed. This year I made a F & F offer with the Abbey and settled everything...thanks to this site. I recently approached a well known bank (e mail me direct and I'll tell you who it was) and they made a mortgage offer with no quibbles at all and that was with me being totally honest about the repo. What the advisor told me that because it was more than three years ago that it didn't show up! I was so relieved and I had worried about it uneccessarily beforehand.

Tell the truth and then you can sleep at night.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck

Moira
