❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Salisbury
What actually counts as ‘bad credit’ for a mortgage? ›
It covers a wide range — CCJs, defaults, missed or late payments, IVAs, debt management plans, bankruptcy and even a low credit score with no formal markers. Each is treated differently by lenders: a small, old, satisfied issue is viewed very differently to something recent and unresolved, so it's worth getting an honest assessment rather than assuming the worst.
Why use a broker instead of approaching a high street bank directly? ›
A high street bank can only offer its own products and will run your application through the same automated scoring that likely declined you in the first place. A whole-of-market broker like Darryl has access to 65+ lenders, including specialist adverse credit lenders that don't take applications directly from the public, and knows which ones are realistically likely to say yes to your specific situation.
I'm self-employed with bad credit — can I still get a mortgage in Salisbury? ›
Yes, this combination is common and placeable. Darryl works with specialist lenders comfortable assessing self-employed income (including one year's accounts in some cases) alongside adverse credit, rather than declining automatically for either reason on its own.
Can first-time buyers with bad credit get a mortgage? ›
Yes. Being a first-time buyer with a credit blip doesn't rule you out — several specialist lenders actively cater for first-time buyers with adverse credit, and government schemes may also be available depending on your deposit and circumstances. Darryl will talk you through what realistically applies to you.

❓ Common Questions
How long does bad credit stay on my file?
Most adverse credit markers remain on your credit file for six years, though lenders weigh recency heavily — issues from several years ago are treated far more leniently than recent ones.
Is there a minimum credit score needed in Salisbury?
Specialist lenders generally don't work to a fixed minimum score in the way high street banks do. They look at the full picture rather than a single number.
What documents will I need to apply?
Typically recent payslips or accounts, bank statements, ID, proof of address, and details of any credit issues. Darryl will confirm exactly what's needed for your specific situation.
