We’ve assisted many customers who are seeking a mortgage despite having less-than-perfect credit. The good news is that most of them are still able to secure a mortgage, even with a bad credit history.
As a mortgage broker in London, we work with a wide range of lenders, including both high street banks and specialist providers. This allows us to search through 1000’s of mortgage deals to find one that’s tailored to you.
Customers may choose to obtaing a mortgage via their bank or an online comparison site before coming to us. What they often don’t realise is that hard credit checks can harm their chances of getting a bad credit mortgage because each hard credit check leaves a mark on their credit report.
Securing a mortgage with bad credit in London isn’t just about finding the lowest interest rate and applying. The process requires a strategic approach, which is where an experienced mortgage broker in London can make a significant difference.
Our mortgage advisors in London aim to match your situation with the right lender on the first attempt, helping to protect your credit score from further impact.
Our experienced mortgage advisors in London will carefully evaluate your bad credit situation – when the bad credit was recorded, what caused it, whether it’s now resolved, the amount involved, etc., to help chart the most appropriate course of action.
Different forms of bad credit mortgages exist, such as:
If you are considering getting a new mortgage and are concerned about your credit score, you can speak with one of our mortgage advisors in London today to find out what your mortgage with bad credit options are.
When you have bad credit, lenders often ask for a higher deposit. Typically, you’d need at least 15% to 30% of the property’s value. The exact amount will depend on the severity of your credit issues, such as missed payments or defaults. A larger deposit reduces the lender’s risk, making it more likely for them to approve your mortgage.
Yes, it’s possible to get a mortgage in London even with a County Court Judgement (CCJ) on your record. Lenders will consider factors like how long ago the CCJ was registered, the amount involved, and whether it has been satisfied (paid off). The older and smaller the CCJ, the better your chances. Be prepared to provide a larger deposit and to pay a higher interest rate.
You can still get a mortgage with missed or late payments, but it can be more challenging. Lenders will look at how recent the missed payments were and how many occurred. If your missed payments were a while ago and you’ve since kept up with your payments, your chances improve. Again, a higher deposit and possibly a higher interest rate may be required.
Being over 50 doesn’t automatically prevent you from getting a mortgage with bad credit, but it can add some challenges. Lenders might be more cautious due to the combination of age and bad credit. You may be required to provide a larger deposit, and the mortgage term might be shorter, meaning higher monthly payments. Lenders will also consider your income, retirement plans, and overall financial situation.

Every customer can benefit from a free mortgage appointment with one of our mortgage advisors in London. During your appointment, your assigned mortgage advisor in London will request information concerning your earnings and outgoings to work out your borrowing capacity.
After your free mortgage appointment, your mortgage advisor in London will try and find a mortgage deal that aligns perfectly with your unique financial circumstance. If you want to proceed with the chosen mortgage product, it's time to start working on preparing your mortgage application.
Preparing and submitting your mortgage application is a crucial step towards acquiring your dream property. To support your application, you will need to provide supporting documents that support your income and affordability. At this stage of your journey, you will be partnered with a dedicated case manager. Their task is to guide you through every stage of the process, ensuring you're kept informed and updated.
Now that your application is ready, we can send it off to the mortgage lender. Whilst we wait for the mortgage lender's response, we will evaluate your insurance options with you, making sure that you and your family are protected in a situation where you cannot make your mortgage payments.

Grasping your credit score is key when seeking a bad credit mortgage in London. This score represents your financial history and heavily influences a lender’s decision.
It’s important to be familiar with your credit score and recognise any negative factors, such as missed payments, defaults, or County Court Judgements (CCJs).
By knowing your credit score, you can work towards improving it by reducing existing debts, steering clear of new credit applications, and making sure all current payments are made on time. A stronger credit score can result in more attractive mortgage terms and a broader selection of products.
Understanding how much you can borrow on a bad credit mortgage is vital when planning your home purchase in London.
Lenders consider various factors, such as your income, deposit size, credit history, and current financial obligations, to determine your borrowing capacity. Generally, a larger deposit can enhance both your borrowing potential and the terms available to you.
It’s important to have a clear understanding of your finances and speak to a specialised mortgage broker who can offer a realistic estimate of your borrowing limit.
This information will help you establish a budget and narrow your property search to homes that fit within your financial range.
Securing a mortgage agreement in principle (AIP) is a key step when applying for a bad credit mortgage in London.
An AIP provides an estimate of how much you could borrow, considering your financial situation and credit history, without conducting a full credit check.
Having an AIP can strengthen your position as a serious buyer when negotiating with sellers and estate agents. It gives you a clearer understanding of your budget and shows lenders that you are committed to the process.
An AIP can also help identify any potential issues early on, allowing you to address them before submitting a full mortgage application.
