Getting a mortgage isn’t always easy, and we know that from over 20 years of experience! This can become even more of an issue if you are in the middles of a complicated situation.
Our job is to help you overcome these hardships and hurdles to help you secure a mortgage deal that is suited for your individual situation. During your mortgage application, we will look at your affordability, reliability and credit file. If we are not able to offer you lender’s high street products, we may be able to find you a better deal through a specialist lender.
If you are more suited to specialist products, we will recommend that you take one of these up so that you are more likely to be accepted. The only downside to some specialist products is that you may be required to put down a larger deposit; your credit score will play a huge role in this deciding factor.
As a trusted mortgage broker in York, we have access to 1000s of specialist mortgage products through many different lenders. It’s our job to try and find the right one for you. In the past, we’ve been able to help customers with bad credit secure a mortgage suitable to their situation.
Don’t be put off by these types of products, if you’re getting declined by a high street lender, there may be a reason and you may need to consider specialist products.
If you’ve recently been declined by a bank or building society, we would advise you to stop applying. The more that you apply and get declined, the more harm you do to your credit score.
Every customer can benefit from a free mortgage appointment in York. During this appointment, you will get to speak to a mortgage expert who will look over your current personal and financial circumstances to determine whether getting a mortgage in your situation is possible. Simply book your free mortgage appointment online or by giving us a call.
When we talk about “bad credit” in the context of mortgages, it relates to a scenario where a borrower has a track record of financial issues that could hinder their chances of getting a traditional mortgage through high street lenders.
While a poor credit history can indeed present obstacles in obtaining a mortgage, there are specialist lenders that exist that may be able to help.
The removal of a CCJ from your credit file is not a straightforward process, except in cases where it was issued in error or if you’ve paid it in full within 30 days of receiving the judgment.
In all other instances, a CCJ remains on your credit file for a duration of six years from the date of issuance, regardless of whether you later settle the associated debt.
While it’s not a requirement to get the services of a specialist mortgage advisor in York, it is strongly recommended, especially if you find yourself in unique financial situations like bad credit or self employment.
Seeking mortgage advice in York proves invaluable in navigating through tailored mortgage options, particularly if you face challenges in qualifying for standard mortgages offered by high street mortgage lenders.

If your offer has been accepted on a property, but your property survey shows that you’re paying more than the property’s worth, your lender may pull out of the deal. They will not want to give you more money than you need.
