❓ Bad Credit Mortgage FAQs — Swansea

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 Swansea — 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.

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 Swansea? ›

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

Can I get a mortgage in Swansea with a default?

Yes — defaults are one of the most commonly placed credit issues. The lender options depend on how recent and how large the default is.

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.

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.
