❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Birmingham
Does it matter if my default was with a phone company or utility provider rather than a loan? ›
Lenders do sometimes treat communication and utility defaults slightly differently to defaults on credit cards, loans or catalogue accounts, often viewing them as lower risk. It's still worth declaring and reviewing with Darryl, since criteria genuinely varies from one specialist lender to the next.
How do I get a mortgage with a CCJ in Birmingham? ›
Start with a free assessment with Darryl. He'll review your CCJ details — the age, amount and whether it's satisfied — along with your full financial picture. He'll then identify the most suitable specialist lenders from his panel of 65+ and present your case in the strongest possible way. Most clients with CCJs are surprised by how many options are actually available to them.
What's the difference between a satisfied and an unsatisfied default? ›
A satisfied default means the debt has been repaid in full; an unsatisfied one is still outstanding. Lenders generally view satisfied defaults more favourably and a number offer better rates or lower deposit requirements once a default has been cleared, though plenty of lenders will still consider unsatisfied defaults depending on the rest of your circumstances.
Does Darryl charge fees for bad credit mortgage advice in Birmingham? ›
The initial assessment and quote are completely free with no obligation. A broker fee may apply on completion depending on the complexity of your case — Darryl will be completely transparent about any fees before you proceed. You pay nothing until you find a deal you're happy with.

❓ Common Questions About Defaults
Do I need a bigger deposit with a default?
Often yes, though the exact amount depends on the lender and the specifics of the default — typically 10-15% as a starting point, more for recent or unsatisfied defaults. Darryl will find the most competitive fit for you.
Does the type of default matter — loan, credit card or utility bill?
Yes, to a degree. Some lenders treat communication and utility defaults more leniently than defaults on loans or credit cards, but it always comes down to the individual lender's criteria.
Can I remortgage in Birmingham if I have a default?
Yes — remortgaging with a default is a regular enquiry. What matters most is your payment record since the default and the equity you hold in the property.
