If you’ve experienced missed payments, defaults, or county court judgments (CCJs), securing a mortgage can seem difficult. 

However, bad credit mortgage lenders in Derby specialise in helping clients with complex credit histories find suitable options. 

A bad credit mortgage – also known as an adverse credit mortgage – is designed for borrowers whose credit reports show financial difficulties such as late payments or a low credit score.

At My Mortgage Specialist, we can help you achieve your dream home, even if your credit file isn’t perfect, by supplying bad credit mortgages, a real area of expertise for us.

How Does Bad Credit Impact Mortgage Eligibility?

Traditional or standard mortgages often rely on a strong credit rating and a clean financial record. 

However, specialist lenders focus on your current financial situation, including your steady income, property value, and ability to keep up with monthly payments, rather than your past.

Missed payments on credit agreements or utility bills may lower your score, but they don’t automatically prevent you from getting a mortgage. 

With expert guidance, you can often find a mortgage deal that suits your unique circumstances.

The Role of Specialist Lenders and Mortgage Brokers

Bad credit mortgage lenders assess each borrower individually, taking into account any debt management plans or outstanding debts. 

Working with a mortgage broker is essential, as they have access to specific lenders not available on the high street.

At My Mortgage Specialists, our mortgage and protection advice team can identify the most suitable lenders, explain interest rates, and help you improve your approval chances.

Steps in the Mortgage Application Process

Here’s a look at the mortgage application process:

  1. Initial Consultation – Discuss your mortgage journey with an expert adviser to understand your eligibility.
  2. Credit Assessment – Review your credit report and discuss ways to strengthen your application. Any county court judgements or debts you have will be addressed honestly and openly.
  3. Lender Search – We match you with lenders who understand bad credit and offer realistic mortgage products.
  4. Application Submission – Your broker handles the application process and communicates with lenders on your behalf.

Even with a poor credit rating, you can often secure a new mortgage or release equity from your home with the right support.

How Can I Improve My Credit History?

It is important to understand that with an adverse credit history, you may still be eligible for a bad credit mortgage, albeit at higher interest rates.

 However, some things may help you improve your credit rating, especially if you are a first-time buyer.

  • Make sure to register for the electoral roll
  • Ensure your credit report and bank statements are up-to-date
  • Show that you are paying lenders and reduce your debt

When getting a mortgage deal approved, most lenders want to ensure you are a reliable client if they are to finance your home purchase.

 Our mortgage experts are here to help improve your credit score and eliminate the perceived risk you pose to a lender’s money.
