What is bad credit?

Bad credit is when your credit report indicates that you have not handled your finances in an ideal manner. Banks and other lenders use your credit report as a measure of your creditworthiness, and it will include information such as your address history, aliases, date of birth, and any debt you may have like loans, credit cards, store cards, utility bills, and overdrafts.

Bad credit can include;

• County Court Judgements (CCJs)
• Defaults
• Missed/Late Payments
• Debt Management Plan (DMP)
• Too many hard searches 
• Excessive borrowing/large amount of debt
• An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
• Debt Relief Order (DRO)

Can I still get a mortgage with bad credit?

It is possible to obtain a mortgage even if you have a poor credit score. The amount of the deposit you have and the severity of the bad credit will be taken into consideration. We can quickly determine if we can help you once we have access to your credit report. If not, our service offers a comprehensive review of your credit file where we will tell you what you need to do and when you will be able to get a mortgage – and this will not cost you anything.

Why use a specialist bad credit mortgage broker?

Using a specialist bad credit mortgage broker can be extremely beneficial for people with poor credit. As there are a variety of subprime and adverse lenders that offer mortgages for those with bad credit, having a broker that is knowledgeable in the field is extremely important. A broker will be able to use their experience and resources to find the lender that is most likely to accept your mortgage. Specialists will also be able to negotiate with underwriters, answering any questions and providing explanations for credit issues. Experience is key here, as each lender has different criteria and can make exceptions depending on the circumstances.

Lenders will look at your history to see if you can afford a mortgage and if you will pay it on time.  If you have previously had issues paying your bills, some lenders may be put off by this, it can affect who will accept your mortgage application, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be accepted. 

How do Mortgage Lenders view bad credit?

When considering potential borrowers, mortgage lenders will review their financial history to determine if they are capable of taking on a mortgage and if they will make payments on time. A person’s past difficulties in paying off their debts may put some lenders off, but this doesn’t necessarily mean their mortgage application will be rejected.

How to improve your chances of getting a mortgage 

There isn’t anything instant that will improve your credit score, however there are things you can do in preparation for a mortgage application.  

• Pay your bills on time
• Register on the electoral role to vote
• Pay off as much debt as you can
• Do not take out credit cards to improve your credit score
• Get as much deposit as you can
• Avoid lots of mortgage applications

Having good bank statements is crucial when applying for a mortgage, especially for those with poor credit. Most sub prime and adverse lenders will need to review your statements to verify good banking conduct, but there are a few that don’t require it. To make sure you have the best chance at getting a mortgage, make sure you have clean bank statements that show you have been responsible with your finances.

Mortgage lenders check your statements for the following.

• That your wages into your account match your payslips
• You don’t have returned direct debits
• Excessive gambling, the odd small flutter is ok
• Benefits, child benefit, universal credits etc.
• Maintenance into your account 
• Maintenance out to an ex partner 
• Overdraft usage, this is ok within the limit, not ideal
• Rent or mortgage payments
• Regular saving
