Example of current ‘Exclusive; Bankruptcy Mortgage After 2 Years
Based on a purchase price of £200,000 and a repayment mortgage of £150,000 over 25 years.

There is a money transfer fee of £25 and a mortgage discharge of £150 on full redemption. The main early repayment charges are 2% of the original loan repaid in the first 2 years.

The 75% ‘Exclusive’ Bankruptcy Mortgage rates are current as at 17 October 2013:

2 Year Discount
Initial pay rate 4.89% (APR 5.9)
Valuation Fee £194 / Arrangement fee £3,000
Currently at £867.30 per month for 2 years. After this period the mortgage will revert to the lender’s variable rate at the time. Based on today’s prices this would be £925.32 per month.

GOOD POINTS

A truly amazing rate given the level of risk the lender is taking on.

If you earn in excess of £40,000 the income multiple is likely to be extended to 4 times the first applicant plus 1.25 times the second applicant’s salary (3.75 times joint if higher). This is a sensible approach which rewards those expected to have a higher deposable income.

It is funded by a building society who generally have a much better reputation than centralised lenders.

The early repayment charge period allows you to reassess your options in two year’s time when the bankruptcy is more historic without being unduly penalised.

BAD POINTS

This is aimed at the rehabilitated applicant(s) who has an unblemished credit record since the bankruptcy and is now on good earnings.

The Bankruptcy itself must be a ‘one off event’ triggered by an exceptional event such as divorce, redundancy etc. It cannot have included a repossession within the proceedings.

Flats of exceptional quality can be considered but ordinarily the product is limited to houses.

The arrangement fee is sizable for residential mortgages but that said it can be added to the loan within the 75% maximum loan to value.

The early repayment charge within the 2 year discount period is based on the original loan rather than the current mortgage balance, which if it is a repayment mortgage is likely to lower.

The product is not portable to another property if you move.
