mortgages
I am thinking of getting my first house after the summer and havent taken any steps yet but was wondering where i stand on getting a mortgage after having a successful bonemarrow transplant after Luekemia only a year ago.
From what I gather there is a cap on the amount you can borrow but i am uncertain. Does anyone have any experience in this.
cheers

Hi there,
I hope you don't mind me messgaging since such a great deal of time has passed since you posted this. I came across your post and I was curious how you got on with your house purchasing in the end? Myself and my husband are looking to buy a home and have the same concerns you expressed here. Would be great to pick your brain on it if at all possible?
Many thanks

Hi Transplant,
I am not sure about this BUT I have heard that companies will not touch you until you are FIVE years or more out from diagnosis. This could have been in relation to BC, I don't know.
I would talk to a few banks to see what they say. I would be worried that the associated insurance costs will be very high. Hopefully someone else has experience of this and can correct me.
Regards,
Flo.
