FAQs
Will I need a bigger deposit?
Having a bad credit rating means that you may sometimes need to have a bigger deposit. This is because some lenders may see you as a bigger risk, and if you have a larger deposit you won’t have to pay back as much. Higher interest rates are also common.
Looking for a 95% mortgage? It can be tricky to find a lender who is part of this mortgage guarantee scheme and able to lend to people with bad credit. However, the lenders on the scheme will use the same affordability and eligibility criteria as any other mortgage, so you could still be able to secure a mortgage with a lower deposit. Again, this will depend on your individual case.
How do I know if I have a bad credit score?
Getting to grips with the details of your credit score can be daunting, and it’s easy to be confused by all the facts and figures out there. As a general rule of thumb, using a scale of 300 to 850, a bad credit score is one that is below 670. If, after checking your credit score, it falls below this number, you will be looking for a bad credit mortgage.
The good thing is, your credit score isn’t something that is fixed. There are many things you can do to improve it, including building a solid credit history and making repayments on time. Remember, zero credit history also goes against you.
Will I need a guarantor?
Some lenders will only offer you a mortgage if you have a guarantor – but what is this? A guarantor is someone, usually a parent or an older relative, who will be able to guarantee that payments will be made if you are unable to keep up with them. To put it simply, they are agreeing to step in and pay your mortgage for you if you cannot do so.
Not all bad credit mortgages require a guarantor. To find out more about the options available to you, please get in touch with our team today.
