A mortgage after bankruptcy is one of the situations the specialist lending market was built to handle, and we arrange them for Liverpool clients regularly. The high street usually declines discharged bankrupts for several years, but a separate group of lenders takes a more measured view, assessing how long ago the bankruptcy was and how you have managed since.
We place these cases where they belong, with lenders who say yes to the right application rather than no on principle.
When can you realistically apply?
Timing is everything with a post-bankruptcy application, so it helps to know the milestones.
One year after discharge
A small number of specialist lenders will consider you, usually with a larger deposit and a higher rate.
Three years after discharge
Choice opens up noticeably, with more lenders and better terms available.
Six years on
Once the bankruptcy drops off your file, many mainstream options return.
Your individual case
These are guides, not rules. Deposit and conduct can move you up the timeline.

Mortgages after bankruptcy in Liverpool: your questions
Where is your office, and do I need to visit?
Our office is in Nottingham, at Park Lane Business Centre, NG6 0DW. You do not need to visit us. We help Liverpool clients by phone and video, which is how most adverse credit advice is handled, so you get the same level of service wherever you are.
How long after bankruptcy can I get a mortgage?
It depends on the lender and your wider circumstances. A small number of specialist lenders will consider an application from one year after discharge, usually with a larger deposit and a higher rate. Choice and terms improve at the three-year mark, and once the bankruptcy drops off your credit file after six years, many mainstream options return. We will give you a realistic timeline for your situation.
What deposit will I need for a mortgage after bankruptcy?
Soon after discharge, expect to need more than the standard minimum, often in the region of 15 to 25 per cent, because a larger deposit lowers the lenders risk and makes an early application viable. As more time passes since your discharge, the deposit required tends to ease. A bigger deposit also improves the interest rate you are offered.
Can a broker really get me a better outcome than going direct?
A specialist broker knows which lenders look favourably on which kinds of adverse credit, so your application goes to the right place first time. Going direct often means repeated hard searches and rejections, each of which can further dent your score.
Do you charge for advice?
The initial advice and assessment of your situation is free with no obligation. If you decide to proceed, we will explain any fees clearly and in writing before you commit to anything.
