❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Coventry
Does it matter if I have one default or several? ›
It matters, but not in the way most people assume. A single small, old, satisfied default is often barely a factor. Multiple defaults, or a recent and unsatisfied one, will narrow the lender panel further and may mean a larger deposit — but it's rarely a hard stop. Darryl will tell you honestly where you stand once he's seen the detail.
How much deposit will I need with a default on my file? ›
It depends on the default. Most specialist lenders want a minimum of 10-15% deposit when defaults are present. A recent, large or unsatisfied default can push that closer to 25-30%, while an older, smaller, satisfied one might only need 5-10%. Darryl will tell you exactly where you're likely to sit once he's seen the detail.
I've been declined by my bank in Coventry — can Darryl still help? ›
Absolutely — being declined by a bank or high street lender is one of the most common reasons clients come to Darryl. High street banks have very strict automated criteria. Specialist adverse credit lenders take a completely different approach — they look at the full picture and make individual decisions. Darryl has helped many clients who were initially declined elsewhere secure mortgages.
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.

❓ Common Questions About Defaults
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 Coventry 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.
What if only one of us on a joint application has a default?
It's still assessed as a joint case. The applicant without a default doesn't guarantee approval, but it can help, and several lenders will look at the combined picture rather than declining outright.
