Mortgage with a Default in Manchester

For Manchester buyers and homeowners, a default is a hurdle rather than a wall. Specialist lenders are comfortable with defaults and judge them on the specifics, the kind of account, how much was owed, whether it is now paid and how long ago it happened.
We assess all of that with you, explain what it means in plain terms, and approach the lenders whose criteria fit your circumstances today.

Specialist default mortgage advice across Manchester
Manchester is a city at the heart of the North West economy, and we help buyers and homeowners right across it. Whether you are looking in Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington, Prestwich and Sale, or anywhere else served by Manchester City Council, your default is assessed the same way: on its detail, not on the postcode.
Almost everything can be handled by phone, email and video, so wherever you are in the North West you get the same whole-of-market advice. Being based across the wider region does not limit what we can do for you.

Mortgages with a default in Manchester: 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 Manchester 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.
Will checking my options affect my credit score?
No. An initial conversation and a look at your situation is a soft enquiry and leaves no mark on your credit file. A hard search only happens later, with your permission, when you formally apply to a specific lender.
How long does a default affect a mortgage application?
A default stays on your credit file for six years from the date it was registered, but its effect on a mortgage fades well before that. Many specialist lenders will consider you within the six-year window, especially once the default is satisfied or a couple of years have passed. The older the default, the less weight lenders give it.
Can I get a mortgage with a default on my file?
For many people, yes. The high street often declines automatically, but specialist lenders consider applicants with defaults regularly. How they view it depends on the type of account, whether the default is satisfied, how old it is and how much was owed. A satisfied or ageing default opens far more options than people expect, and we can tell you where yours leaves you.
Do you work with people outside Nottingham?
Yes. We are based in Nottingham but we advise clients right across the UK, and almost everything can be handled by phone, email and video. Where you live does not limit the advice we can give.
