Deposit levels needed to get a Mortgage with a default

Your guide on getting a Mortgage with a Default. Read below about how much deposit you need and what are the maximum limits on past defaults.

bad credit mortgage

The good news is I specialist in mortgages for customers with defaults on their credit file. The bad news is it really does depend on your affordability and the level of deposit you want to put down to get a Mortgage with a default.

If you want to use a Help to Buy scheme the answer will be a straight ‘no’, however if you came to me and you said you want a conventional mortgage with a 15 or 20% deposit with good income, then there is a fair chance that we can help you.

The general sweet spot for getting a mortgage with bad credit, including defaults, is if it has taken place over two years ago. That’s because of how many of the current specialist mortgage lenders finance their own borrowing.

The below chart give you an idea of the level of deposit needed to get you a mortgage with past defaults:

Quick guide to Mortgage with a default – Registered in the last 2 years

We have a number of lenders that will consider defaults registered over 2 years ago. This table below concentrates on those that have occurred in the last 24 months.

In last 3 months 1 Any 20%
In last 3 months Any Any 40%

AS A MORTGAGE IS SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME OR PROPERTY, IT COULD BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP THE MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS.
