❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Shrewsbury
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.
Can I remortgage with bad credit? ›
Often, yes. Whether you're coming to the end of a fixed rate or looking to release equity, specialist lenders will consider remortgage applications with CCJs, defaults or a missed payment history. Darryl will check whether staying with your current lender, moving to a new one, or waiting a little longer gives you the best outcome.
Does bad credit rule out a buy-to-let mortgage? ›
Not necessarily. A number of specialist buy-to-let lenders will consider adverse credit, particularly for experienced landlords or where the rental income comfortably covers the mortgage. The rules differ from residential lending, so it's worth a dedicated conversation about your portfolio and the property in question.
How soon after a CCJ, default or missed payment can I apply? ›
There's no single answer — it depends on the lender, the type of issue and how long ago it happened. Some specialist lenders will consider you very soon after an event; others prefer to see a period of clean conduct first. Darryl's job is to match you with lenders whose criteria you meet now, rather than making you wait unnecessarily.

❓ 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 Shrewsbury?
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.
