Low credit score FAQ's

Am I still eligible for a mortgage if I have a low credit score? 

 

It all depends on the amount of negative information on your file, and how long it's been registered for. More negative information can increase the cost of your monthly payments. Talk to us to find out which lenders may accept your specific circumstances.

​

If banks refuse me are there alternatives?

​

Building societies may be more flexible although options are still limited. Talk to us and we'll tell you if any lenders will accept your circumstances.

​

I have a good reason for my low credit score, will lenders take this into account?

​

Lenders are more sympathetic to people who've faced illness, divorce, and other difficult life events.
