I have an almost satisfied CCJ but also guarantor and 6 months rent. Would this be enough to reassure landlords?

Hi all,

Myself and my partner have been looking to move in together. Weve recently found a lovely property which would be perfect!

The issue is:

My partner has good credit. Not excellent but hes mostly recovered from bad decisions when he was younger and has rebuilt his credit.

I dont have good credit. Including 1 CCJ (water bill) that will be fully paid off this month.

4 years ago i left a domestic violent relationship and lived in a hostel for 11 months. The agreement for bills was odd. For example I paid for electric. But the hostel paid for the gas. I paid rent. But didn't pay council tax. The water bill was never discussed and this being the first place I had financial control over I was too stupid to ask.

The hostel forwarded my mail for 4 weeks then stopped. Its been 3 years. I have no idea what mail was delivered in that time. But I received a court enforcement letter to my current address in the post in March and set up a payment plan. I'm onto the last month now.

My partners mother paid 6 months rent in advance for his current place, as his credit wasn't too great and she didn't earn enough to guarantor.

She has offered to pay 6 months rent in advance for our new place. And my father has agreed to be guarantor.

Would this be enough to reassure potential landlords that we will be good tenants? My having a ccj has put everything on a wobble.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
