Hi all, right so firstly I am aware we are not in the best situation but if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful. My husband and I with our 3 children live in a rented house, however we have been given the option to buy it. My husband is self employed of about 18 months and I have recently given up work due to I'll health. We would like to buy our home although my husband doesn't have a very good credit history. My credit history is not as bad but as stated I am no longer working. Is there any way that anyone can think of that we could get a mortgage? I know it's a long shot but we would really like to try in order to gain security for our children. Many thanks to everyone who answers
