Prepare the file

Mortgage after a CCJ

A county court judgment is a fact on the file, not a score this site can turn into an approval chance. Enter the amount, date and whether it is satisfied. The result is a preparation list.

What a broker is likely to need

  • The judgment amount: £500.
  • The judgment date: the date you enter.
  • Status recorded here: satisfied.
  • Deposit context: 10% of the purchase price.
  • The court reference and any certificate of satisfaction or set-aside order.

This list does not estimate an approval probability, a waiting period, or a lender.

What this page will not do

  • Satisfied does not mean every lender ignores the judgment.
  • A small CCJ and a large CCJ are both facts. This site does not rank them.
  • Check the record on your statutory credit files before the appointment so the dates match.
  • It will not name a lender, a product, or an approval chance.

Questions

How long after a CCJ can I get a mortgage?
There is no single waiting period MortgageConnector can quote. Lenders set their own criteria, and a broker has to apply them to the actual file.
Does satisfying a CCJ remove it?
Satisfying a judgment updates how it is reported. It does not guarantee a lender will ignore it. Ask the broker what evidence of satisfaction they need.
Will you tell me my chances?
No. An approval probability would be a lending judgement. We can introduce you to an FCA-authorised broker who can assess the case.
