Darryl Dhoffer has arranged mortgages for clients with a single small default and with multiple large unsatisfied defaults. He knows exactly which lenders specialise in adverse credit, what their criteria are, and how to present your case in the strongest possible light.

Start with a free assessment — no credit search, no obligation. Darryl will tell you honestly what's possible and what the best route forward is for your specific situation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a mortgage with defaults in the UK? ›
Yes. Defaults are one of the most common types of adverse credit and there are specialist lenders who will consider applications with them. The key questions are how many defaults you have, how old they are, the total amount, and whether they are satisfied. Darryl Dhoffer specialises in default mortgages and has helped clients with one default and with multiple defaults across their credit file.
How many defaults can I have and still get a mortgage? ›
There is no universal limit. Some specialist lenders assess defaults individually on a case-by-case basis. What matters more than the number is the total amount, the age of the defaults, and whether they have been satisfied. Darryl will review your full credit profile and identify the lenders most likely to offer you a mortgage.
Do my defaults need to be settled to get a mortgage? ›
Some lenders require defaults to be satisfied, others don't. If you have the means to settle your defaults before applying, it significantly improves your options and the rates available. However Darryl has arranged mortgages for clients with unsatisfied defaults — the rate available will reflect the lender's assessment of risk.
How long do defaults stay on my credit file? ›
Defaults stay on your credit file for 6 years from the date of default, regardless of whether they are satisfied or not. However specialist lenders will often consider defaults that are only 12-24 months old, and your options improve significantly as they age. After 3 years, many more lenders will consider you.
What deposit do I need with defaults on my credit file? ›
Most specialist lenders want a minimum of 10-15% deposit when defaults are present, though this varies by lender and the nature of the defaults. A larger deposit of 25% or more opens up significantly more options and better rates. Darryl will advise exactly what deposit you need for your specific default situation.
