Mortgages if you have had a previous satisfied CCJ

If you have an adverse credit history, you may be worried if you will be able to get a mortgage because of defaults, County Court Judgements (CCJS) or other previous issues with borrowing on your credit file. However getting a mortgage with a satisfied CCJ is not impossible and there are numerous other factors which will also affect your mortgage availability.

The size of the CCJ and how long ago will affect how much of it a lender will take. The date it was satisfied is also important; CCJs that were satisfied over six years ago are removed from your credit history. While a CCJ is a relatively severe credit issue, if you can illustrate that you subsequently took control of your finances and have not had any problems with credit since then your options for securing a cheaper mortgage will become more varied as lenders are more likely to consider you a responsible borrower.

While there are more options for residential bad credit mortgages it is not impossible to secure a buy to let mortgage if you have previous credit issues.

If you have other credit history problems this will also decrease your mortgage options. Generally speaking mortgages are available on a sliding scale, with the cheapest mortgages available to those with excellent credit histories as they pose the lowest risk to lenders.

There are a variety of mortgages that might be available to a borrower who has CCJs or a bankruptcy on their file, however as lending to these types of applicants can pose a higher risk the interest payments on these kinds of mortgages can be considerably more expensive than what would be available to someone who has never had any major issues with credit. These mortgages may also have a more restricted affordability criteria than mortgages available to borrowers with better credit scores.

Being able to put down a larger deposit on a mortgage will also expand the amount of mortgages available to you as well as decreasing your interest rate size.
