Bad Credit Mortgage Advice

Having bad credit doesn’t automatically mean you can’t get a mortgage. Many specialist lenders consider applicants with defaults, CCJs, or a history of missed payments, often at different rates and terms.

Your options depend on the severity and recency of the issues, as well as your deposit and income. A mortgage broker who works with adverse-credit lenders can tell you which products you’re likely to qualify for.

At Clearview Mortgage Solutions, we work with lenders who consider bad credit. We’ll review your situation, explain your options, and help you find a deal that fits.

Find out what your monthly payments could be and which lenders might accept your application.

We can also help if you’re self-employed or have complex income—many of our lenders look at the full picture. Find out what your payments could be with our helpful calculator.

Yes, several specialist lenders consider applicants with CCJs and defaults. Your options depend on the amount, age, and whether it’s been satisfied. Older, smaller, and satisfied CCJs are viewed more favourably. A broker can match you with lenders who specialise in these cases.
