Mortgage with defaults

A default is a reported fact. The amount, the date and whether it is satisfied are what a broker will ask for. This page does not turn them into a probability.

What this page will not do

  • Satisfied does not mean a lender will ignore it.
  • Several small defaults are not 'the same as' one CCJ. List both if both exist.
  • It will not name a lender, a product, or an approval chance.

Questions

How long after a default can I apply?
There is no single period this site can quote. A broker applies a lender's own criteria.
Should I pay it off before the appointment?
That is a money decision, not something this page can instruct. Ask the broker what evidence they would want either way.

MortgageConnector is a mortgage broker introducer and information service. We do not provide regulated mortgage advice. Where appropriate, we can introduce you to an FCA-authorised mortgage broker who can assess your circumstances and provide advice.

The matching service is free for you. Partner brokers pay MortgageConnector for introductions. If you ask for an introduction, the details you submit are shared with the selected partner. The broker is responsible for regulated advice. Check the firm on the FCA Register.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

These figures are illustrative.

An FCA-authorised broker can look at the actual income, credit and property. MortgageConnector introduces you. We do not choose the mortgage.
