    Hi All,

    I am wondering if anyone has got a House Purchase Loan from council? I've read the rules and it says "Applicants must prove that they have sought a mortgage from two lenders and have been refused funding."

    I am wondering what would count as a refusal? If was offered 70K mortgage from the bank instead of 120K I was looking for, that would count as a refusal, right?

    I personally don't know anyone who got a loan from the council, so any information is greatly appreciated.

    I believe you have to be refused from 2 different banks ie totally denied a mortgage .
    Have you tried speaking with the council directly first

    being offered less than you want is not considered a refusal so based on your opening post your inelligible for such a loan.

    im also pretty sure that there are very few if any councils still running this scheme.
