I’m just looking for a bit of advice on if anybody has had success or has any helpful information.

I was convicted of fraud back in 2020 for a crime committed in 2018. My conviction doesn’t become spent until 2026/27 but my cifas marker expires In November this year.

We are potentially looking at buying a house and are in a position to have a decent size deposit and someone willing to be a guarantor on the mortgage if needed. We both have good credit ratings.

My question is the advice section lists a number of lenders who don’t ask mortgage brokers about criminal records in applying although when I’ve spoken to a few people, brokers and advice everyone says they are yet to come across a mortgage company that truly doesn’t ask about conditions at all. Has anybody come across one?

I’m going to presume as soon as I mention fraud if asked then they will run to the hills.

Thanks in advance
