❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Braintree

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.

Can I get a bad credit mortgage if I live in Braintree? ›

Yes. Darryl Dhoffer works with clients across Braintree and the whole of the UK. Distance is no barrier — all advice is provided online and over the phone. The lenders he works with are national UK lenders, so your location in Braintree doesn't affect your eligibility. What matters is your individual financial situation, deposit and the property you want to buy or remortgage.

Can I remortgage if I have a default? ›

Yes — remortgaging with a default is one of the most common enquiries Darryl deals with. Lenders will look at your payment history since the default, your current equity and your income. In many cases a remortgage with a specialist lender works out better than staying on an expensive existing deal.

I have a default and a CCJ — does that rule me out? ›

Not necessarily. It narrows the panel of lenders who'll consider you, and may mean a larger deposit, but several specialist lenders underwrite exactly this combination of adverse credit every week. Darryl will need the full detail of both to give you an accurate answer.

❓ Common Questions About Defaults

How many defaults can I have and still get a mortgage?

There's no fixed limit — Darryl has placed clients with multiple defaults. It comes down to matching you to a lender whose criteria fits your specific circumstances.

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.

How long does a default stay on my credit file?

A default remains on your credit file for six years from the date it was registered, though many lenders become more flexible after 12-24 months.
