Mortgage age 46 and Type 1

NC but long time poster.

I’ve just inherited enough money to put a good deposit down on a house and with a small mortgage of 50,000 could afford a decent place. I don’t think I’ll get a mortgage though as I have T1 insulin dependent diabetes and am a supply teacher with an agency. I retrained as a teacher recently when the DC left home. I get regular work and can afford my rent (which is much higher than a mortgage would be).

Anyone know what my chances are of getting a mortgage? Any specialist brokers. Going to post this in money too.

Thanks all.

Are you in the UK? T1 will not prevent you getting a mortgage any more than a driving licence. Disability discrimination.
