Can I get a mortgage with poor credit?
A lot of people feel they can’t get a mortgage if they have poor credit history or have been refused by a high street bank. At HLSA Financial Services we have access to expert mortgage lenders that are more flexible than high street lenders and take into consideration the age, gravity and cause of credit issues. You may pay a higher interest rate but as with any other mortgage, if you have a large deposit and/or reasonably good income, you may be eligible to obtain a more competitive deal.
By seeking advice from a mortgage broker like HLSA Financial Services, it can be possible to obtain a mortgage, despite being declined previously. We have years of experience and know each Lender’s criteria, thus would only apply for a mortgage on your behalf, if we think you have a good chance of being accepted.
If for any reason we cannot help you, we will advise you of steps to take to improve your credit score and enhance chances of being accepted in the future.
What Is Deemed As Poor/Adverse Credit?
Poor credit history may suggest you are not in control of your finances and can often be caused by simple things like forgetting to pay a bill or being ordered by the courts to pay a parking fine.
The following can be deemed as adverse credit:
- Bankruptcy
- Payday Loans
- Debt Management Schemes
- Default
- IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement)
- Missed payments/arrears
- CCJ (County Court Judgement)
- No credit history

Our mortgage advisers will take the time to understand your circumstances and compare the market which includes high street and expert lenders to find a mortgage that fits your needs perfectly.

In my opinion Zaki is best in her work, she is Most helpful and very professional and dedicated to her work to ensure 100% clint satisfaction. Steven Reynolds2024-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zakia for the second time after my initial house purchase fell through well over a year ago. I gave Zakia a quick introduction into what I was purchasing and she was able to quickly identify the best mortgage product for me and even when a better rate came up, switched me without any fuss. The property I was buying even reduced in price which meant another application was submitted to complete the purchase. Throughout the entire process, she's kept me informed every step of the way and there hasn't been any need for me to chase or ask where we are because of not only how transparent she is, but her responsiveness is to you as a client. Thank you so much for helping me once again, if you're still in the business in the future, I won't hesitate to reach out to you again if you'll have me :)! Nigel Roberts2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service received for both a new mortgage and a re-mortgage. The broker even intervened when the lender tried to introduce unreasonable conditions the day before completion, and hence ensured everything went through on time. Recommended. Mahmut a2023-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a commercial mortgage with HLSA. Zakia was very helpful and responsive from start all the way to the end.

Is it possible to get a mortgage with a CCJ?
CCJ’s can stay on your credit file for 6 years which is a long time to wait before you can apply for a mortgage. The good news is, there are lenders who will consider your application if you have a CCJ on your credit file. This depends on the details of the CCJ, for example why it occurred in the first place; when was it registered; the amount; and whether it is satisfied?
At HLSA Financial Services we offer a free assessment of your credit file to advise the potential options of getting a mortgage.
Is it possible to get a mortgage with a Default?
If you fall behind on your payments with a Lender, this can lead to a default on your credit file. This will stay on your credit file for 6 years. You could potentially qualify for a mortgage if you have a default, but this will be dependent on when it was registered, the amount of the default, what type of default it is (for example loan, credit or communications default) and whether it is satisfied?
In order to understand your chances of getting a mortgage we will carry out an assessment of your credit file, please get in touch- we are ready to help you.
Is it possible to get a mortgage with an IVA?
If the IVA is satisfied, it increases your chances of getting a mortgage approved and it can depend on when it was satisfied. There are expert lenders that may apply certain conditions to the mortgage ( for example IVA must be paid off with the mortgage advance) and be willing to consider an application on its own merits even if the IVA has not been satisfied.
Typically Lenders will take into account whether or not the IVA is satisfied? How long has it been satisfied for? Start date of the IVA and track record of payments ( i.e. have payments been made on time)
Although we can never guarantee you will get a mortgage, we can proudly state that we have helped many clients who reached out to us thinking they would never get a mortgage because of their poor credit score.
