Can I get a mortgage with a CCJ in the UK?

Yes. A CCJ does not automatically prevent you from getting a mortgage in the UK. The key factors are how old the CCJ is, the amount, and whether it has been satisfied (paid off). Many specialist lenders will consider CCJs that are 12 months or older, and after 3 years your options increase significantly. Darryl Dhoffer specialises in CCJ mortgages and knows exactly which lenders will consider your specific situation.

How old does a CCJ need to be to get a mortgage?

Some specialist lenders will consider CCJs from as recent as 12 months ago. After 2-3 years, more options become available. After 6 years the CCJ drops off your credit file entirely. The key factor alongside age is whether the CCJ has been satisfied — a paid-off CCJ is viewed much more favourably than an outstanding one.

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

Not necessarily, but satisfying your CCJ significantly improves your options. Some lenders require satisfaction before they will lend; others will consider unsatisfied CCJs depending on the age and amount. Darryl will advise on whether settling your CCJ before applying makes financial sense for your specific situation.

What deposit do I need for a CCJ mortgage?

Most specialist CCJ lenders want at least 10-15% deposit, though this depends heavily on the age and amount of the CCJ. With a 25% deposit your options improve significantly. Darryl has secured CCJ mortgages with smaller deposits in cases where the CCJ is old, small or satisfied.

Will a CCJ mortgage cost me more?

CCJ mortgages typically carry slightly higher interest rates reflecting the lender's perception of risk. However, the difference is often smaller than people expect — and as your credit improves and the CCJ ages, you can remortgage onto better rates. Darryl will show you the best available rate for your CCJ situation and create a plan for future improvement.

"Whatever your situation — I have seen it before. Free assessment, no credit search, I respond within 2 hours."

As a delivery driver — whether working for Uber Eats, DPD, Amazon, Royal Mail or independently — getting a mortgage is very much achievable. The key is how your income is assessed. Most delivery drivers are self-employed and lenders use your HMRC tax returns (SA302s) and tax year overviews to calculate your income. With 1-2 years of accounts most specialist lenders will consider you.

📋 How Your Income Is Calculated

Sole trader delivery driver: Lenders use your net profit from your SA302 tax return. Having 2 years of returns is ideal though some lenders consider 1 year.
Limited company driver: Lenders use salary plus dividends, or in some cases net profit. Director/shareholder income is assessed differently to sole trader.
PAYE employed (e.g., Royal Mail, DPD employee): Assessed as standard employed income — payslips and P60 required. Most straightforward.

🏦 What Lenders Look At

How long you have been doing delivery work — 1 or 2+ years of accounts
Whether you are sole trader, limited company or PAYE employed
Net profit after expenses from your most recent tax return
Whether income has been stable or growing year on year
Whether any bad credit exists alongside the self-employed income

❓ Common Questions

Can I get a mortgage with just 1 year of delivery driving accounts?

Yes — some specialist lenders will consider self-employed income with just 1 year of accounts. The income needs to be clearly evidenced via SA302 and tax year overview from HMRC. 2 years is more widely accepted but 1 year is possible with the right lender.

Does working for Uber Eats count as self-employed for mortgage purposes?

Yes — platform workers including Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat and similar are treated as self-employed for mortgage purposes. Your income is evidenced through HMRC tax returns (SA302) rather than payslips.

What if my income varies month to month?

Variable income is normal in gig economy work and lenders understand this. They use your annual income from your tax return rather than monthly income, which smooths out seasonal variation. Growing income year on year is viewed positively.
