💳 HAD A FEW CREDIT PROBLEMS IN THE PAST?
A late payment, default, CCJ or historic arrears doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get a mortgage.
What matters is the detail behind your credit history and, importantly, your circumstances today.
Lenders can consider factors such as:
🔹 What happened and why
🔹 How recent the issue was
🔹 Whether outstanding balances have been settled
🔹 Your current income and affordability
🔹 Your deposit and overall financial position
Every lender has different criteria, so a previous credit issue doesn’t always tell the full story.
If you’ve been told “no” before, or you’re worried your credit history could hold you back, it could be worth speaking to a mortgage adviser before assuming your options have run out.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage. There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend on your circumstances, but will be agreed with you before proceeding.
