 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Absolutely brilliant service from John from start to finish. As first-time buyers, the mortgage process could have been really stressful and confusing, but John made everything so straightforward and easy to understand. He was always available to answer any questions we had, explained everything clearly, and kept us updated throughout the whole process. John worked hard to find us the right mortgage and has been incredibly helpful, professional and supportive every step of the way. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better mortgage advisor and would 100% recommend John to anyone looking for a mortgage. Thank you for all your help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We have known John since we bought our first rental in 2009 and he has guided and helped us all the way. He laid out a plan for us that this month will be fulfilled exactly as he said it would. He has never let us down and he is always there when we have needed him. Nothing is too much trouble. Great guy and a  true proffessional. Thanks John for everything. You are truly the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We have used Johns services a few times now, when remortgaging. John is extremely knowledgeable and always strives to find the best deal that works for you. His communication is excellent, he’s very friendly and explains thoroughly the best way for you to go forwards and we would highly recommend his services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I honestly don’t know how I would have got through buying my first house without John. From the very beginning, he helped us work out what we could afford and get our Agreement in Principle sorted, but his help went way beyond just arranging the mortgage. While we were viewing houses, he was always happy to give his thoughts on whether an asking price seemed sensible and what we might want to offer. His experience and knowledge were incredibly valuable when we were trying to navigate something we knew very little about. Once we found our house, John made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly quick to respond, explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer my many questions! What really impressed me was how much he handled himself. He dealt directly with the estate agent, solicitors and lender, meaning we weren’t constantly stuck in the middle passing messages around. If an issue came up, he’d often just sort it in the background and let us know there was an issue but it's resolved, rather than adding to our stress. John genuinely cares about his clients and it really shows. He’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always made us feel like we were in safe hands. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Five stars doesn’t really do justice to how much he helped us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker than John. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, making what initially felt like a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable. John’s communication was outstanding throughout. No question was ever too big or too small, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the entire mortgage process with complete confidence. I never once felt stressed or under pressure, which made such a difference as a first-time buyer. His knowledge and expertise are second to none, and he was able to secure me a fantastic mortgage deal. I genuinely felt that he had my best interests at heart every step of the way. I can’t recommend John highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to helping their clients, he’s the person to go to. Thank you, John, for making such an important milestone such a positive experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  When I arrived in the UK, I had only been here for 3 months. I was on a spouse visa, had very little UK employment history, and other mortgage advisers told us that getting a mortgage would be extremely difficult or even impossible. From the first conversation, John gave us confidence. He explained exactly what we needed to do and told us that the most important thing was getting my first few payslips and building my employment record. He had a clear plan from the start. What I liked most was how honest and straightforward he was. He always answered our questions, kept us updated, and made the whole process easy to understand. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. John didn't just help us get a mortgage. He advised us on properties, helped us understand what was a good purchase, guided us on what offer to make, and even helped us find solicitors. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us buy the right home, not just getting the mortgage approved. In less than 4 months, John achieved what two other mortgage advisers told us was impossible. We now have a mortgage offer and are buying our first home together. The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support. If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Valeria

Bad credit mortgages

Everyone deserves the chance to buy a property, even if your credit history isn’t perfect. At Everest Mortgages, we’re here to help people to secure bad credit mortgages, because we don’t think a less than ideal financial history should hold you back from homeownership.

Whether you’ve missed a few credit card payments, had a County Court Judgement (CCJ) or faced bankruptcy in the past, our expert mortgage brokers can help you to find lenders who understand.

Can you get a mortgage with bad credit?

Getting an adverse credit mortgage might be more complicated, but it’s by no means impossible, and it’s definitely not something to be embarrassed about. Though you might not have the widest selection of fixed rate mortgages or variable rate mortgages to choose from – and a 100% mortgage might be off the table for now – that doesn’t mean getting a mortgage is completely out of the question.

We’ve helped countless buyers to secure competitive mortgages despite previous financial difficulties, and we’re ready to help you too.

We search 1000's of mortgage deals across a large number of lenders, including...

The impact of bad credit on mortgages

When people talk about bad credit, they’re referring to a history of financial difficulties or missed payments that have negatively impacted your credit report. Lenders use this information – provided by credit reference agencies like Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – to assess how likely you are to repay a mortgage. Though a low credit score doesn’t automatically mean you’re not able to get a mortgage, it does mean lenders are likely to look a little more closely at your financial circumstances before they make their final decision.

There’s a whole host of things that can cause bad credit such as missed or late payments on credit cards, loans or bills, defaults on accounts, CCJs, IVAs and bankruptcy. Multiple recent credit applications can also have an impact, as can payday loans. Each of these affects your credit rating differently, some have a greater impact than others, and lenders look at them all to get an overview of where your score currently stands.

Having a poor credit score doesn’t disqualify you from getting a mortgage, but you may be limited on the mortgages available. For example, you might not be eligible for a no deposit mortgage, but a high fixed rate mortgage could be well within reach.

Speak to a mortgage advisor

How bad credit affects your mortgage application

It doesn’t matter if you’re a first time buyer or you’ve diving into property ownership for a second, third or fourth time, bad credit will affect your mortgage application.

But, that’s not the end of the world.

Mortgage lenders will look at more than just your credit score; they assess your income, affordability, deposit size and how long ago the credit issues occurred. This could mean that though your credit score could do with some improvement, you’re still able to secure a mortgage.

Date of Credit Issues – Older credit problems, such as those that occurred over 2 to 3 years ago, tend to carry less weight.
Severity – A handful of missed payments are treated differently than more severe issues, like bankruptcies or repossessions.
Deposit – A larger deposit can offset risk and improve your chances of being approved for a mortgage.
Income Stability – Consistent earnings or a steady business history can reassure lenders that you’re able to keep up with mortgage repayments, making approval more likely.

The more evidence you have to show that your finances are back on track and your credit score is on the up, the better your chances are of being approved.

What credit score do you need for a mortgage?

There isn’t a fixed minimum score that guarantees you’ll be approved for a mortgage, as each lender has its own criteria. If you have a high credit score, you’ll be eligible for most high street lenders and you’ll be able to access the best rates. If your credit score is low, you might need to have a higher deposit and commit to a higher interest rate to show lenders that you’re a risk worth taking.

Lenders look at your income, expenditure, employment status, affordability and property valuation before making a decision. Trust us, we’ve helped many borrowers with scores below average to secure mortgages, and we can do the same for you.

Good credit vs. bad credit mortgages

There’s nothing stopping you from getting a mortgage with adverse credit, but it’s slightly different to if you were applying with a brag-worthy credit score.

Having bad credit tends to mean that you have fewer options when it comes to lenders, deals and interest rates.

Lenders tend to offer higher interest rates to applicants with bad credit.

You’re likely going to need a larger deposit – or more equity in your property, if you’re remortgaging – to get a mortgage with bad credit.

When it comes to adverse credit mortgages, deposit size matters

There’s been a lot of talk lately about no deposit mortgages and 100% mortgages, many of which are helping first time buyers get on the property ladder. Unfortunately, having bad credit can put many of these somewhat out of reach. With defaults and missed payments bringing your credit score down, lenders want the security of you having a larger deposit, as this reduces their financial risk.

Luckily, the Everest Mortgage experts are to help you find a mortgage that works for you, regardless of what your credit report says.

Bad credit mortgage broker

Bad credit doesn’t have to put a stop to your dream of being a homeowner. With the right guidance, preparation and help from Everest Mortgages, you can find a mortgage that works for you and your financial history. We know all there is to know about helping buyers to find the right mortgage, even if you are dealing with a poor credit score.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How far back do mortgage lenders look?

When it comes to your credit history, lenders look back over the last 6 years, as this is as far back as credit reference agencies go. Any missed payments, defaults and CCJs before then won’t be seen.

What’s the lowest credit score mortgage lenders accept?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as all lenders are different; TransUnion, Experian and Equifax score credit history in their own way. But, as a base line, people with credit scores under 400 will find it more difficult to get a mortgage and are usually subject to higher interest rates.

Can first time buyers get a bad credit mortgage?

Yes, if you have bad credit and you’re a first time buyer, you can still get a mortgage. However, your choice of lenders may be more limited. Some lenders offer 100% mortgages and 95% mortgages for first time buyers, but if you have bad credit, you’ll usually need a 10% to 15% deposit.

The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support. If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.

Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Valeria
