Specialists in adverse & bad credit mortgages
As banks, building societies and other high street lenders continue to tighten their criteria, it can prove difficult to open doors to lenders who are actually willing to listen. If you currently have bad credit, we understand how disheartening it can be when door after door is closed, and though securing a mortgage with poor or adverse credit is challenging; it’s certainly not impossible.
We’ve developed strong relationships with lenders who specialise in bad credit applications and who understand that life today is just not that simple for some.

How can you get a mortgage with bad credit?
Bad credit mortgages are on the rise, but it’s important to understand that the products you will be presented with depend on your individual circumstances and the reasons for financial difficulties. There are many different reasons why people seek bad credit mortgages, for example, they may be suffering from:
- CCJs
- Defaults
- No credit history
- Poor credit score
- High volume of credit applications
- Late payments
- Not being listed on the electoral roll
- Missed mortgage payments
- IVAs
- Bankruptcy
Some bad credit mortgages do have higher-than-average rates and you may also need a larger deposit. However, in recent years we have witnessed a surge in very good deals for people suffering from adverse credit, as some lenders look beyond your credit score considering a multitude of factors, such as income, outgoings and financial situation. For example, specialist lenders may view your application more favourably if illness, divorce or bereavement contributed to your financial difficulties.
