❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Peterborough

How old does a default need to be before lenders relax? ›

There's no single rule, but most specialist lenders become noticeably more flexible once a default passes the 12-24 month mark, and again as it approaches the end of its 6 years on your credit file. A very recent default limits the panel more than an older one, but Darryl can usually still find options.

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.

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.

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

❓ 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.

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.
