How long does the process take from enquiry to offer?
It varies by case, but a straightforward specialist application can move from enquiry to mortgage offer within a few weeks once the right lender is identified. More complex cases can take longer — Darryl will give you a realistic timeline once he's reviewed your situation.
Can I get a joint mortgage if one of us has bad credit?
Yes. Lenders assess joint applications on the combined picture, and a strong second income or clean credit history from one applicant can help — though it depends on the specific lender and the nature of the credit issue.
What if I've had more than one type of credit issue?
It's common to have more than one — for example a default alongside missed payments. Darryl looks at the whole picture together rather than any single issue in isolation, and matches you to lenders who can accommodate the combination.
