Quick answer: What has A Little Mortgage Advice won?
Adverse Credit Mortgage Brokerage of the Year, Essex 2026, from BFSI Insider, which covers banking, financial services and insurance. It recognises the work we're asked for most: mortgages for people whose credit history has gone wrong.
Why do people with adverse credit need a specialist?
Because a decline from one lender leaves a mark that makes the next application harder, so the lender has to be right first time. Ten of our Google reviewers came to us after another broker or their own bank had turned them down. One couple had been told to wait two years; we placed their mortgage with a building society, four weeks from start to offer.
It's a growing part of the market. UK lenders advanced £2.57 billion to credit-impaired borrowers in 2025, the highest annual total since 2008, according to our UK bad credit mortgage statistics.
How do we help?
We read your credit file ourselves, work the case up against real lender criteria, and choose the lender before anything is submitted. Our adverse credit mortgage page covers how lenders read CCJs, defaults and missed payments.
