Can I get a mortgage with a default?

The answer is YES you can get a mortgage with a default or even multiple defaults, however it is advisable to use a specialist bad credit mortgage broker to improve the chance of your mortgage application being accepted and getting it accepted at the best interest rate for your circumstances. 

In some cases it is possible to get a mortgage with a highstreet lender even with defaults.  We will always explore this option in the first instance. 

What does a Specialist Mortgage Broker Do?

A Specialist Mortgage Advisor will fully assess your credit report looking for the date any bad credit has been recorded, they will also look for the amount and check if the debt has been satisfied (paid off/cleared) or not.  

Once your mortgage broker has identified any credit issues, they will then start to source the best mortgage lender for you, one who will accept your individual circumstances at the best rate available, this is a Financial Conduct Authority (F.C.A.) requirement.

This process is complicated, it takes a combination of knowledge, experience and a number of tools available to specialist brokers, each lender will have differing criteria when it comes to bad credit, it is definitely a job for an experienced specialist adverse mortgage broker who will approach the right lenders straight away.  Not all advisors are specialist in bad credit, using an inexperienced mortgage broker could cause many more problems for you, including using a blanket approach, approaching lots of lenders in the hope that one will accept your mortgage application, this will result in your credit score getting lower because they will be running lots of credit searches in your name.

A bad credit mortgage broker may also be referred to as a poor credit mortgage broker or even an adverse credit mortgage broker. 

What is a default on my credit report?

A default is the financial term that is used when a credit agreement has been broken and the lender closes your account, for example, you have entered into a mobile phone contract to pay an agreed amount every month for say 18 months, but during that time you miss payments.  In the first instance the credit lender will record a missed payment on your credit report every time you miss a payment, once you have missed three to six payments the lender will issue a default notice that will be registered on your account.  This can happen with any credit agreement you have, car, utility bill, catalogues, loans, overdrafts are just a few examples.

What happens when I get a default notice?

When a lender issues a default notice the amount you owe will become payable in full straight away, you can in some instances offer to pay monthly instalments, this is down to each individual lender whether they accept monthly payments, they are not obliged to. 

If you can’t pay the full amount and the lender wont accept a monthly payment plan, they are likely to pass your debt over to a debt collection agency who will chase the debt on their behalf, this will undoubtedly incur further costs and if you still do not come to an agreement, the debt collection agency can then apply to the court to repossess the asset or issue a County Court Judgement.

How long does a default stay on my credit report?

A default will show up on your credit report for six years from the date that it was issued.  It will affect your chances of getting any credit whilst it is visible on your credit report, including making it much harder to obtain a mortgage.
