Credit Repair Mortgages – What They Are and How They Can Help You Buy a Home

Ready to start your process?

Enquire about a mortgage with our affordability form. No imprint on your credit score.

Will not affect credit score

If your credit history isn’t perfect, you might have already been told “no” by a high-street bank. But there’s good news a credit repair mortgage could help you get on (or back onto) the property ladder while improving your credit at the same time. At Clever Mortgages and Oak Mortgages, we specialise in helping UK borrowers find the right solution, even with a challenging credit history.

 

What is a Credit Repair Mortgage?

A credit repair mortgage is a specialist mortgage designed for people with a poor credit history such as missed payments, defaults, County Court Judgments (CCJs), IVAs, or bankruptcy.

Unlike standard mortgages, these products are offered by lenders who are willing to look beyond your credit score. They focus on your current affordability, stability, and potential to get back on track financially.

 

Who Are They Suitable For?

Credit repair mortgages are often a good fit for:

  • People with recent or historic credit issues (within the last six years)
  • Borrowers with no credit history at all
  • Those who’ve been declined by mainstream lenders
  • Individuals coming out of an IVA, or bankruptcy
  • Individuals in or coming out of a Debt Management Plan (DMP)
  • Self-employed applicants with limited trading history and some credit challenges

 

Reasons to Take a Credit Repair Mortgage

  1. Get on the Property Ladder Sooner

    You don’t always need to wait six years for bad credit to disappear from your file there is a lot of lenders who will consider you now.

  2. Rebuild Your Credit Profile

    Making every mortgage payment on time helps repair your credit score over time, improving your future borrowing options.

  3. Specialist Lender Flexibility

    These lenders consider your full financial story, not just the numbers on your credit report.

  4. Step Towards Better Rates

    A credit repair mortgage might have a higher interest rate initially, but after a few years of good payment history, you can often remortgage to a better deal.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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!
