Defaults Mortgages — What You Actually Need to Know

Banks and high street lenders often decline automatically when they see a Defaults. Specialist lenders don't. They look at the full picture — how old the Defaults is, the amount, whether it's satisfied, and the rest of your financial profile.

Darryl Dhoffer has arranged mortgages for clients with Defaultss ranging from very recent to several years old, satisfied and unsatisfied, large and small. He knows exactly which of his 65+ lenders will consider each scenario and how to present your case to maximise your chances of approval at the best available rate.

The first step is a free, no-obligation assessment where Darryl reviews your full situation and gives you an honest picture of what's possible — before any application is made and before anything touches your credit file.

✅ Bad Credit We Specialise In

⚖️

Defaultss

County Court Judgments — satisfied or unsatisfied, recent or historic. We know which lenders look past them.

📋

Defaults

Single or multiple defaults across telecoms, utilities, credit cards or loans. Age and amount matter — we know how.

📑

IVA / DMP

Currently in or recently completed an IVA or Debt Management Plan. Options exist — we'll find them.

💸

Missed Payments

Late or missed payments on mortgage, loans or credit cards. Context matters more than the mark itself.

🏚️

Repossession

Previous property repossession. Specialist lenders will consider this — timeline and deposit are key.

📉

Bankruptcy

Discharged bankruptcy. Many clients are surprised what's possible even shortly after discharge.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a mortgage with a default in the UK? ›

Yes. A default doesn't automatically prevent you from getting a mortgage. The key factors are how old it is, the amount, and whether it's satisfied. Specialist lenders assess the full picture rather than declining automatically.

How old does a default need to be to get a mortgage? ›

Some specialist lenders will consider defaults from as recent as 12 months ago. After 2-3 years, more options open up. After 6 years it drops off your credit file entirely.

Do I need to pay off my default before getting a mortgage? ›

Not necessarily, but satisfying it significantly improves your options. Some lenders require satisfaction; others will consider an unsatisfied default depending on age and amount.

What deposit do I need for a mortgage with a default? ›

Most specialist lenders want at least 10-15% deposit, depending on the default's age and amount. A 25% deposit meaningfully improves your options.

Will having a default mean a higher interest rate? ›

Often slightly, reflecting the lender's view of risk, though the gap is usually smaller than people expect and narrows as the default ages.
