Who we can help

Types of bad credit mortgages

First of all, who could benefit from bad credit mortgage advice? If you have one or several of the following on your credit file, then you are more than likely a good candidate for a bad credit mortgage:

  • County Court Judgements (CCJs)
  • 2 Defaults
  • Missed/Late Payments
  • Debt Management Plan (DMP)
  • Too many hard searches
  • Excessive borrowing/large amount of debt
  • An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
  • Debt Relief Order (DRO)
  • Bankruptcy

If you have any of the above on your credit file, it’s all too easy to assume that it is not possible to be accepted on a mortgage application. This is where we can help, Maldon Mortgage Solutions has access to lenders who specialise in this field.
