Worried about poor credit?

Worried about a poor credit score?

The cost-of-living crisis and inflationary pressures has put pressure on people’s finances and made it harder for people to get on the housing ladder due to affordability constraints and more people having a less than perfect credit history.

Gemma is exceptional. She made the mortgage process look very simple, she took her time to explain every stage of the process and carried us along.

How important is your credit history for mortgage lenders?

Looking into your credit history is one of the ways in which a mortgage lender will gain information on how reliable you have been at paying back debts and loans in the past. A mortgage lender needs to be confident that you’ll be able to keep up with your repayments across the whole lifetime of the loan.

What if your credit history isn’t perfect?

Don’t worry, if your credit history isn’t perfect, you’re not alone! Many people experience minor setbacks in their credit history at some point. Such as missing a credit card payment, neglecting to pay utility bills on time, or going into an unarranged overdraft. These types of “credit blips” can leave a mark on your credit history but this doesn’t mean you aren’t eligible for a mortgage.

Yes, it may be possible to get a mortgage without a traditional cash deposit. Some UK lenders offer 100% mortgages to eligible borrowers, although there are fewer options available than for buyers with a 5% or 10% deposit.

How Early Should I Start Looking for a New Mortgage Before My Current Deal Ends?

17/09/2026 GHL_ADMIN Comments Off on How Early Should I Start Looking for a New Mortgage Before My Current Deal Ends?
