What is a bad credit mortgage?
Whether you have had CCJs, bankruptcy, arrears or defaults, bad credit mortgages are available with dozens of lenders throughout the UK. We can help you to get the very best rates possible, and we won’t charge you anything for our service.
Most lenders take into account evidence of a poor credit history. This means that some will not be prepared to offer you a mortgage if you have a bad credit record. However, many specialist lenders will consider lending to you, even if you have examples of arrears, defaults or even bankruptcy in your past. You may have to pay a slightly higher rate than someone with good credit history, as the lender will see it as a larger risk to lend the money. With First Mortgage you can find the best possible deal and minimise the penalty for bad credit history.
