What is considered bad credit for mortgages?

You may be fully aware of a CCJ, Default or missed payments on your file, but I have also had clients where the bank said no and suddenly they came to find out that a CCJ or default was placed against them that they had no idea about.

Once you have a copy of your report and you’ve discussed the options through with your adviser you can hopefully move forward with confidence regardless of what shows on the report, as we can make a plan together to ensure you achieve your goals and your dream home!

positioning, presentation and most importantly knowing the right lenders

Bad credit won’t stop you from getting a mortgage but let’s face it, if you haven’t made payments on a credit card or loan before the lenders will likely be a little less comfortable lending to you and see you as a bigger risk than someone who has always made those payments on time.

Generally once we get talking I find out there’s been a difficult situation that caused the issues, and it’s usually unique. But once the real conversations have been had then I can help my clients to make sure they are explaining in clear language to the lenders:
• Why there was an issue in the past
• Why the lender can be confident that if they approve the lending they will get repaid on time without issues

It’s all about positioning, presentation and most importantly knowing the right lenders who will listen.

Understanding mortgage porting

Porting is a jargon term in our industry that is actually pretty simple. Porting your mortgage simple means moving the mortgage to a new home, and many mortgages have this facility including in your mortgage offer, however it isn’t always straightforward as you would still have to pass the affordability and property checks before moving the mortgage, even if you are currently paying this mortgage at the moment. It can help you to avoid paying early repayment charges if you are locked into a product mortgage deal and want to move home.
