❓ Common Questions
Can I get a mortgage with a default in Chester?
Yes. Defaults are one of the most commonly placed adverse credit situations. Lenders including Kensington, Aldermore, Bluestone and Pepper Money consider defaults daily. Age and satisfaction status are the key factors.
What is the difference between a satisfied and unsatisfied default?
A satisfied default means the debt has been paid. This is viewed significantly more favourably by lenders. Most specialist lenders have better criteria — lower deposit requirements and better rates — for satisfied defaults.
How long do defaults affect my mortgage application?
Defaults stay on your credit file for 6 years. Their impact reduces significantly as they age. A 4-year-old satisfied default has much less impact than a 1-year-old unsatisfied default.
