Hi guys

Is it hard as a person with a disability to get a loan for purchasing a house??

What hurdles do you have to overcome?

I don't think disability comes into it Generally all the banks care about is your ability to repay the loan. If you've proven that you are permanent in your job more than two years, have a track record with saving money each month and paying your debts, and you pass their stress test they'll offer you some sort of mortgage. You'll also need to have a deposit saved as well that's at least 10%(I think)

Your main difficulty is likely to be life insurance. I'd start with enquiries there at the same time as trying to get a mortgage (if not before).

I forgot about the insurance part of it. Yeah I'd check there first before going through the pain of a mortgage application.

There is a scheme to proceed with a mortgage without usual insurance where cover is declined or is at a very high price.

Any link(s) to this?

Hi there. My OH got Life Assurance, and I got a waiver.

How long should it be before we hear re: mortgage approval?

I would imagine that would vary according to providers - you could ask what the usual time is, but really I guess the answer is 'as long as it takes'.
