❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Yeovil
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.
Does it matter whether my score is with Experian, Equifax or TransUnion? ›
It can. The three main UK credit reference agencies don't always hold identical information, and different lenders use different agencies — or their own scoring built on that data — to make decisions. A low score with one agency doesn't automatically mean every lender will see you the same way, which is exactly why matching you to the right lender matters more than the number on any single app.
How much deposit will I need in Yeovil? ›
It depends on the severity of your credit history. Many specialist products are available from 10-15% deposit, milder cases such as older or satisfied issues are sometimes accepted from 5-10%, while more serious or recent issues like an unsatisfied CCJ may need 15-25%. Darryl will confirm realistic figures once he's seen your full picture.

❓ Common Questions
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.
