What Is a Bad Credit Mortgage?

While there's no official product called a "bad credit mortgage," the term refers to mortgages offered to people with a lower credit score or adverse financial history. These mortgages may come with higher interest rates or additional fees, but they still provide a viable route to homeownership.

Also known as adverse credit mortgages or subprime mortgages, these products are designed for those whose credit history includes things like missed payments, defaults, or financial agreements like DMPs or IVAs.

Can You Still Get a Mortgage with Bad Credit?

Yes. Even if your credit score is low, or you've faced serious credit issues in the past, you may still qualify for a mortgage. Our advisers will assess your full financial picture—not just your credit score—and work to find the most suitable lender for your circumstances.

The good news? Making regular mortgage payments—even on a bad credit mortgage—can help rebuild your credit score over time. In a few years, you may be eligible to switch to a more competitive deal with a lower rate.
