 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!

General adverse credit mortgages

Getting a mortgage after bankruptcy can be difficult but not impossible, with many highstreet lenders declining applications with previous bankruptcy. Our specialist brokers and the lenders they work with believe that everyone deserves consideration, and could help you find a mortgage even after bankruptcy. This usually happens after a bankruptcy term of 12 months.

Case Study

Helping a couple improve their credit score and secure a competitive mortgage rate

We helped one couple do just that. With our help, Mr and Mrs K were able to:

	Balance	Payment	Rate	Term
Previous Mortgage	£118,930	£615	2.39%	20
New Mortgage	£291,200	£1,096	1.96%	29

Enquiry

The customers came to us after speaking to other mortgage brokers who, they thought, weren’t offering the most competitive rates. They wanted to move to a larger property to give the growing family the space it needs, especially with 2 young children.

Solution

We firstly had to work out why other mortgage brokers couldn’t offer the best rates. After running the customers credit files, on our own system, we saw missed payments on an account.

As the recorded have been marked incorrectly, we worked with the customers to put a notice of correction on the credit file, without the correction, the best lenders were declining a new mortgage.

Whilst we knew of lenders that would accept an application with missed credit card payments, we wanted to get the customers the very best rate on the market, it was therefore better to get the credit file corrected.

We then placed the mortgage with a high street lender and the customers were able to secure their dream home, have the space they needed for the family and save stamp duty, due to the Government incentive.
