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!

Need a mortgage but have bad credit? We could help.

Even After A CCJ, Default, Missed Payment, declined a mortgage, DMP, IVA Or Bankruptcy.

Finding a mortgage when you have bad credit can feel impossible but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’ve been declined for a mortgage, had a Debt Management Plan (DMP), IVA, or even bankruptcy, there are still lenders who may say yes.

At Clever Mortgages, we specialise in helping people with poor credit histories secure mortgages, whether you’re buying your first home, remortgaging, or looking to consolidate debts. Our expert advisers understand the challenges of bad credit and work with a wide range of specialist lenders who look beyond your credit score.

We’ll review your situation, explain your options clearly, and help you find a mortgage deal that suits your needs even if you thought it wasn’t possible.

Mortgages available after:

CCJs (County Court Judgments)

Defaults

Late or missed payments

Declined mortgage applications

IVAs and DMPs

Bad Credit Mortgage

Bad credit mortgages – also known as sub-prime mortgages or adverse credit mortgages – are specifically for people who have a bad credit rating.

Remortgage with bad credit

Bad credit can be seen as a barrier when trying to remortgage. Clever Mortgages don’t see it this way and specialise in helping those with bad credit secure a mortgage or remortgaging.

Low credit score

There are several reasons why you may have a low or no credit score. There are still mortgage options available.


Mortgage with an IVA

It is still possible to take out a mortgage if you’ve been in an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).

Mortgage in a DMP

Even if you’ve had, or are currently in, a Debt Management Plan (DMP), there are plenty of mortgage options available.

Mortgage with CCJ

If you have a registered or settled County Court Judgement (CCJ), there are still mortgages available.

Adverse Credit Mortgage

If you’ve missed or been late with credit payments, there are still plenty of mortgage options available.

Mortgage after Bankruptcy

If you’ve been declared bankrupt, we can start looking at mortgage options available once you’ve been discharged.

Declined a Mortgage

Having a mortgage declined can be tough, but all is not lost, just because one lender says no, another may say yes.

Below are some of the lenders we work with
