❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Derby
I've already been turned down by my bank in Derby — is there any point trying again? ›
Definitely. A decline from a high street bank tells you very little, because most of them use automated scoring systems that reject anyone with a CCJ almost instantly, regardless of the circumstances. Specialist lenders work differently — they have underwriters who actually look at the full picture. Plenty of Darryl's clients come to him after being declined elsewhere and still go on to get an offer.
Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage with a CCJ on my file? ›
Yes, there are specialist buy-to-let lenders who will consider applicants with CCJs, though the criteria tend to be a bit stricter than on residential deals and rental income coverage matters more. As with a residential mortgage, the age, amount and status of the CCJ all play a part in which lenders are realistic options. Darryl can talk you through what's achievable for your specific investment plans.
Does it matter if my CCJ was for an unpaid phone or utility bill rather than a loan or credit card? ›
Lenders are generally more concerned with the size, age and status of a CCJ than exactly what it was originally for, so a judgment from an unpaid phone or utility bill is treated in broadly the same way as one linked to a loan or credit card. What tends to matter more is whether it's been settled and how recently it happened. Darryl will still want the full details so he can match you to the right lender.
How much deposit will I need if I've got a CCJ? ›
It depends on the lender and on the specifics of the CCJ, but as a general guide, many specialist products sit somewhere in the 15–25% range. Older, smaller, satisfied CCJs tend to sit towards the lower end of that, while more recent or unsatisfied ones usually mean a higher deposit is needed. Darryl will give you a realistic figure once he's seen your full situation rather than a generic estimate.
