Hope I have this in the right section.Myself and my partner hope to get married in the next year. Our financial situation is:
Me:
Civil Servant with a poor credit rating. Like many I bought an apartment at the wrong time and have struggled with mortgage/credit union loans etc. I am getting them in order now but my record with the credit bureau can't be good after the last few years and will take at least 5 years to improve.
Partner:
Primary School teacher with no loans and great credit history. Earns 60k circa.
My question is this:
If we get married next year does my partners credit history automatically become linked to mine. The reason I ask is that we would hope to move into a house in the next 2 years. We would hope to apply for a mortgage in my partners name only. Should we being staying away from joint bank accounts etc?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
 
Yes, your credit histories will be linked for any application for family home.
