One of the main differences with a bad credit mortgage, is that interest rates tend to be higher when compared to standard mortgages. You’re likely to have to put down a larger deposit too (between 15-30% of the total property value is typical), because bad credit customers are considered higher risk by lenders. If you are looking to remortgage you may already have more the 15% equity (the difference between your property value and the amount you owe on a mortgage).
However, paying a mortgage consistently for a few years can improve your credit score. So in time, you might be able to remortgage with a standard lender at some point in the future.

The straightforward answer is that there isn’t a set minimum credit score required to obtain a mortgage, and some lenders don’t use credit scores at all.
When customers mention credit scores, they often refer to those provided by agencies like Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion. However, lenders have their own assessment methods based on their unique scoring systems. While a credit score can offer an indication of your likelihood of approval across various lenders, it’s not the only factor to consider.
Rest assured, a mortgage adviser can help clarify this process and assist you in finding the right lender for your situation.
Lenders evaluate your eligibility based on multiple factors, including your credit history, the size of your deposit, income, outgoings, employment status, and overall financial circumstances.
They will examine your credit report for key details such as missed payments, outstanding debts, and financial commitments, which help them assess the risk of lending to you.
To enhance your chances of mortgage approval in the UK, manage your debts wisely, make timely payments, demonstrate a stable income, and review your outgoings to avoid overspending.
