What is a Bad Credit Mortgage?
A bad credit mortgage is what the name suggests: a mortgage for those with poor or limited credit history. Lenders consider such borrowers higher risk, so the interest rates and fees associated with bad credit mortgages are typically higher than those offered to borrowers with good credit. However, they provide an opportunity for people with lower credit scores to purchase a home when they want, rather than having to wait for their credit to improve.
Benefits of Securing Mortgages with Bad Credit
A bad credit mortgage provides an opportunity for those with low credit scores to become homeowners. We believe that everyone should have the right to buy their own home, and we’ll do our best to match you with an understanding lender.
Making timely payments on your mortgage can also improve your credit score over time, making it easier to refinance at a better rate or qualify for other kinds of loans in the future. So, pursuing a mortgage now is something that could have benefits both in the short and long term. Of course, we’ll discuss all of the pros and cons with you – taking your individual circumstances into account.

FAQs
How can I improve my credit rating?
If you are trying to secure a mortgage, improving your credit score is a great idea. Paying your bills on time and staying out of your overdraft is a must, along with managing your available credit carefully. Close any inactive accounts and try to avoid applying for credit shortly before submitting your mortgage application. You should also be sure to remove any links to ex-partners or housemates/properties with poor credit scores.
We also recommend checking your credit report regularly to ensure that everything is up to date and accurate, working quickly to ensure that any errors are addressed.
How does a bad credit mortgage differ from other mortgages?
When someone with bad credit applies for a mortgage, they can expect the interest rates to be higher when compared to standard mortgages. You will most likely have to put down a larger deposit too, as you will be considered a higher risk by lenders.
However, there are benefits to securing a mortgage now rather than waiting. By paying a mortgage consistently for a few years, you can actually improve your credit score. So, you may be able to remortgage with a standard lender in the future. We’ll lay out what you can expect in the months and years to come with you.
What types of bad credit are there?
Bad credit is a broad term and can mean a variety of different things. If any of the following apply to you, then you may think that a mortgage is out of reach:
- 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)
- Bankruptcy
It can also go against you if you have never borrowed. We know this sounds counterintuitive, but lenders are looking for proof that you can pay back what you owe on time. Whatever your situation, we’re here to advise.
