What are Adverse Credit Mortgages?
Adverse credit mortgages, sometimes called a “bad credit mortgages,” are designed for individuals who have a less-than-perfect credit history. Common credit issues that could affect your ability to secure a standard mortgage include:
Missed or Late Payments: Falling behind on bills or loan repayments.
County Court Judgments (CCJs): Legal judgments for unpaid debts.
Loan Defaults: Failure to repay a loan as agreed.
Debt Management Plans or IVAs: Arrangements to pay back debts over time.
Bankruptcy or Repossession: Significant financial events that impact your credit score.
Unlike standard mortgages, adverse credit mortgages are offered by specialist lenders who consider your individual circumstances rather than relying solely on credit scores.
