A bad credit mortgage is one where you have had suffered some sort of debt problem which could include regular late payments for a loan or credit card, County Court Judgements (CCJs), due to non payment of a bill, arrears or defaults on your mortgage or an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) or bankruptcy.
Bad credit mortgages can also be known as adverse mortgages, sub prime or credit impaired mortgages. Many more people nowadays have had some form of bad credit and as such there are now many more lenders able to help and offer products from the very light adverse to unlimited adverse.
Should you require a bad credit mortgage you will require a deposit of at least 25% but this is subject to how long ago you had problems with your credit and what these problems were.
Because there are now more lenders including both High Street and Specialist lenders the non conforming market is much more competitive but you may still have to pay a slightly higher interest rate than you would otherwise be charged for a regular mortgage. The choice of mortgage products is the same as that of regular mortgages so you can still choose from fixed, tracker, capped, discount and flexible rate bad credit mortgages and bad credit remortgages.
