Bad Credit Mortgages

3rd October, 2008 - Posted by admin - No Comments

Many people these days have an adverse credit mortgage rating. This can be due to numerous circumstances often beyond their personal control. You may need to apply for an adverse credit mortgage when you come to buy a property.

Should you intend to apply for a bad credit mortgage, you will need to know all the facts before you commit yourself. No matter how bad your credit history is, you should be able to acquire a mortgage. A bad credit mortgage isn’t difficult to get, but unless you take some professional advice, you may not get the best deal available. Some lenders will charge high interest rates for bad credit mortgages, or attach penalties. If you need a mortgage and you already have financial problems, you need to make sure that you do your homework and contact the experts to ensure you have been offered the best deal and product available for your circumstances.

How is bad credit classified?

Even if you have a history of credit problems i.e. CCJ (County Court Judgments) against your name, have fallen into arrears on a mortgage or suffered other debt problems, such as defaults,non payment of utility bills. Maybe you have been declared bankrupt in the past.You may not have been aware of it at the time, but there’s the possibility you may have a bad credit rating. This means a lender will need to re-appraise your credit status before proceeding with your mortgage application.

Bad Credit Mortgage Offer:

Because you have a “Bad Debt History”, the mortgage offered is recognized as a non-standard mortgage. There is no real difference to a standard mortgage, apart from a higher than standard rate. An estimated one in four Britons would be turned down by a mainstream mortgage lender. This is because not everyone fits the standard criteria lenders apply.

Once you have been successful in obtaining your mortgage, your credit history will improve. On the condition that you keep up the repayments, you will eventually be able to re-mortgage with a standard mortgage and therefore enjoy a varying, wider range of mortgage options.

You can only get a bad credit mortgage via a mortgage broker. If your mortgage application has been rejected, or you simply suspect that you may have a bad credit rating, you can access your credit record via one of the following:
