Low credit score mortgages
You can still take out a mortgage even if you’ve got a low credit score or no credit score
There are several reasons why you may have a low or no credit score, (for example if you haven’t had any credit commitments in the past), as this means there’s no evidence of you keeping up-to-date with payments. We work with numerous lenders that don’t credit score, so there are still mortgage options available.
- Applications based on the person not a score
- 95% mortgages available to purchase a property
- 90% remortgage available

Securing a mortgage for the couple with a low credit score
With Clever Mortgages they were able to:
Use 100% of their Universal credit and child benefit alongside their income
Take out a first-time buyer mortgage with a high street bank
Secure a fixed rate of 2.18% even though they had a poor credit history
Ensure financial stability with a good rate and low payments for two years
Start rebuilding their credit score
Mr and Mrs D were a couple of first-time buyers struggling to find a mortgage as they had low credit scores and previous defaults. They’d already been declined by a high street bank and weren’t sure if they’d be able to get onto the property ladder.
Mr and Mrs D needed a lender which would accept 100% of the Universal Credit along with Mr D’s income, which they were finding difficult.
We helped them by securing them a first-time buyer mortgage with another high street bank, which is helping them rebuild their credit scores. They now have an affordable mortgage with a fixed-term which is covered by their income and benefits. This has provided them with the security of a new home with low payments for two years.

EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Samuel Robert StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Oak Mortgages and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Sarah is the best—she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to understand our situation. Everything was explained clearly, without jargon, which made the whole mortgage process far less stressful than I expected. Sarah was always responsive, kept us updated at every stage, and worked hard to find the best deal for me. It really felt like she had our best interests at heart rather than just trying to push a product. If you’re looking for reliable, friendly, and expert mortgage advice, Oak Mortgages—and especially Sarah—are an excellent choice.Posted on Jon SmythTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
