Bad Credit Mortgages
Getting turned down for a mortgage because your credit score isn’t good enough doesn’t just make you feel bad. It can also mean you miss out on getting the new home you really want for you and your family. Or it can mean you get stuck with your current lender, paying more each month than you need to.
So why does this happen? Well, in the old days, mortgage applications were looked at by humans. But nowadays, most of the big-name mortgage lenders use automated computer systems to assess mortgage applications. And if you don’t tick all the boxes – including having a good credit score – the computer will say “no”, even though a human might have looked at the bigger picture and said “yes”.
That’s why, if you go to a high street bank, even something as silly as a missed mobile phone payment from a couple of years ago can mean your mortgage application gets rejected.
But don’t worry – there is a solution….
At Liberty Money we don’t think it’s fair that people should automatically be denied a mortgage because of their past mistakes. So we’ve joined up with a select band of mortgage lenders who are happy to help people with a poor credit history and who will actually ignore your credit score completely.
Better still, we’ve got direct relationships with the underwriters at these lenders too. So we can speak to the actual human decision-makers and explain your situation to them – giving you a much greater chance of getting your mortgage application approved.
These lenders move quickly too. So we can usually get you a decision within one hour of receiving all your paperwork. To get started, fill in our short enquiry form or give us a call on 01275 244360. You’ll get some free advice without any obligation to proceed and getting a quote from us won’t affect your credit score.

Because we specialise in mortgages for people with credit problems and have direct relationships with the underwriters who make the decisions, we can offer you all sorts of benefits you won’t find on the High Street or through many other brokers.
A lot of mainstream mortgage lenders use your credit score to decide if they’ll offer you a mortgage. And if your score is too low, you’ll get an automatic rejection.
But we work with specialist lenders – ones that you won’t find on the High Street and who are used to dealing with clients with credit problems. And when they assess mortgage applications they do so by getting a real person to assess your whole situation.
This means it doesn’t matter if you have a low credit score because the lenders we work with will ignore it anyway, meaning you’re much more likely to get the mortgage you need.
We have access to 105 different mortgage lenders offering a choice of thousands of different products. So if we can’t find you a mortgage then you can be pretty sure no-one can.
By using state-of-the-art software coupled with our own knowledge of what the different lenders look for, we can quickly find the lenders who offer the best mortgage deals for your particular situation and credit problems – whether that’s missed payments, CCJs, an IVA, or defaults.
We can then go straight to the lender who’s most likely to say “yes” and we won’t waste your time or damage your credit rating by applying to lenders who are going to turn you down.
In recent years, a lot of the mainstream mortgage lenders have become increasingly strict about what sort of credit problems they will accept. This means that even something as trivial as failing to pay a parking fine a couple of years ago can mean that your mortgage application gets turned down.
Fortunately, the lenders we work with are a lot more flexible. In fact, we even have lenders who will completely ignore any CCJs or defaults on your credit file if they are for less than £300.
So now there’s no need for a little mistake in the past to spoil your chances of getting a mortgage today.
Nobody likes uncertainty and when it comes to something as important as getting a mortgage approved you don’t want to be waiting ages for an answer.
So you’ll be pleased to know that, in most cases, we can get a decision in principle from a lender within just one hour of getting the required paperwork from you.
You can then relax and get on with making plans for what you’re going to do once your new mortgage completes – whether that’s moving into your new home, doing up your current property, or just benefiting from lower monthly payments.
I was referred to Liberty Money after Halifax could not renew my mortgage because of my age we had also been let down at the last moment by another company because our property was unusual, Jenna took control immediately & researched the market for a company who could see beyond the usual properties. We are rural, isolated, on an unmade track & using borehole water. She confirmed that these factors would be acceptable. We wanted a Retirement Interest Only mortgage which required assessment of pension provisions & especially that of my wife, & the lender showed imagination in accepting her in the event of my demise. With interest rates rocketing & the end date looming it was all very stressful & Jenna's reassurance & hard work off & on duty carried us through, thank you all for a successful outcome. I would gladly recommend to anyone seeking a mortgage.
