Bad credit doesn’t automatically mean no mortgage.
There are specialist lenders who work specifically with people who've had credit issues. Missed payments, defaults, even bankruptcies. There are options available.
The rate will usually be higher, and you'll typically need a bigger deposit. But "can't get a mortgage" isn't accurate for most people.
The longer it's been since the issue, and how you’ve handled things since, the more options open up. It’s not a permanent situation. It gets easier over time.
If you've been written off, get a second opinion.
