A credit problem doesn't have to end your mortgage plans.
If you’ve had missed payments, defaults, CCJs, a debt managment plan or have been declined for a mortgage before, we can help. We work with a wide range of lenders who consider complex credit histories, so you could still be one step closer to your new home.


















We specialise in situations like yours
Everyone’s circumstances are different. We take the time to understand your situation and find the right solution.
Defaults
We can still help, even if you have defaults on your credit file.
CCJ’s
A CCJ doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get a mortgage.
Missed payments
We work with lenders who consider previous missed payments.
Debt management plans
You may still have options, even if you’re in a DMP.
IVA’s
We can help you explore mortgage options after an IVA and sometimes whilst you are still within it.
Previous Declines
Been turned down before? We may be able to help where others couldn’t.

From the very first contact through (what was a complex and hugely frustrating conveyancing process), to the day of completion, Oak Mortgages were the shining light that got us through. Sarah and her team were brilliant. They were responsive, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, and human at each and every stage. We are so grateful that we used Sarah and Oak Mortgages and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to guarantee that authentic, trustworthy approach from professionals who care. A top class act - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Google![]()

Thank you to Abby and the admin team at Oak Mortgages who have been fantastic in helping me secure a remortgage on my property. From my first phone call to Abby I was filled with confidence and the experience with the team was brilliant, especially when other companies involved were not so brilliant the Oak Mortgage team pulled out all the stops to make sure completion happened. I would highly recommend this company and will use their services in the future. Thank you again.Posted on Google![]()

Alex at Oak Mortgages has been an absolute life-saver. After being let down by a previous mortgage advisor who wanted me to take a massive risk with no guarantees, I contacted Oak Mortgages and was put in touch with Alex. Not only did he find me a mortgage with the exact same lender without having to take that risk, but he also got me accepted! His knowledge is top-notch, his communication is brilliant—he always picked up the phone and replied to emails super fast with regular updates. As a first-time buyer, Alex was hands-down the best part of the entire buying process. I am now happily settled in my new home, and I have Alex to thank for it. I will 100% be using Oak Mortgages again in the future (and hopefully Alex!). Thank you so much!Posted on Google![]()
