❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Luton

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.

I'm self-employed with a default — is that a problem? ›

It adds a layer of complexity rather than a second barrier. Darryl will need your accounts or tax calculations alongside the default detail, and will match you to lenders who are comfortable underwriting self-employed income as well as adverse credit — the two aren't mutually exclusive.

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.

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.

❓ Common Questions About Defaults

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.

Will a recent default in Luton stop my mortgage application?

Not automatically — some specialist lenders will consider very recent defaults, though the choice of lender and rate will usually be more limited.

Does a satisfied default help my application?

It can — a satisfied default is generally viewed more favourably than an outstanding one, though it isn't essential for every lender.
