A few missed bills may not stop you from buying a home.
With something more serious on your record, like a County Court Judgement (CCJ), hope isn’t lost, but you'll need to dedicate some time and effort into improving your score. Your credit report shows the past 6 years of your financial activity. If you build up good credit in that time, you can improve your chances of getting a mortgage.
We are unfortunately unable to help you on your home buying journey currently if you have any of the following;
Any CCJs over £100 that have been active within the last 3 years.
Any defaults over £300 that have been active within the last 3 years.
Any unsatisfied CCJs or defaults.
Taken out or are currently repaying a payday loan within the last 6 months OR
Have or plan to enter into a;
Bankruptcy/ Sequestration Order
Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) / Trust Deed
Debt Management Plan (DMP)
Administration Order
Debt Relief Order
We also require applicants to have at least a "good" credit score.
If you have a satisfied CCJ under £100 or default under £300 within the last 3 years please reach out to us on live chat to discuss as we might be able to help you.
