What can affect my credit history?

So a poor credit history can be caused by any of the above and these can sometimes be very trivial, you may have unwittingly missed a payment from a catalogue company or have an old unpaid telephone bill hanging around from years ago.

So if I have impaired credit who will lend me funds for a mortgage?

There are many different lenders in the UK specialising in Non Standard lending which is also known as credit-impaired lending or sub prime lending. Many of these lenders are in fact part of a mainstream traditional lender but trade under a different brand. These Non Standard lenders will look at each case individually and will access each for its level of risk. Obviously the risk to the lender is greater than for a mainstream borrower and as such, your mortgage interest rate will be a little higher than for standard mortgages. However, there is still a good range of rates including discounted, fixed and capped rate deals available.

How much can I borrow?

In the past the maximum loan to value was just 80% but now it is possible to borrow up to 90% of the value of the property.

Will I be able to get a mainstream product in the future?

Yes, All non standard lenders take the view that they will try to get you on track for a cheaper standard mortgage product within three years. This is obviously subject to you keeping up your repayments on your mortgage and any other loans you have.

How can I check my Credit Record?

Bad Credit Mortgages for Adverse Credit Conditions Very often people are completely unaware they have County Court Judgements (CCJs) against them until they apply for credit or a loan of some kind a mortgage application being one of them. Once applied for it will then be rejected and you will then need to find out how you are able to clear any bad records against your name. In fact there are over 9 million County Court judgments registered in the UK.
