Adverse Credit Mortgage Advice

What is an Adverse Credit Mortgage?

An adverse credit mortgage is no different from an ordinary mortgage except for the fact that it's given to people having a bad credit history.This type of mortgage serves as a life line for people having a bad credit history that could have happened due to non payment of debts in time, bankruptcy, black mark from any credit agency, court cases etc. Bad credit mortgages are also referred to as a sub prime mortgage, non standard mortgage, poor credit mortgage or credit impaired mortgage.

Lenders generally used to shy away from people having a bad credit. But the situation has changed dramaticly and many home mortgage lenders have sprung up that offer mortgages to people who have a bad credit history, with almost the same interest rates (just a marginal difference) and terms as in a normal mortgage loan which is generally repayments over 25 years.

Here are examples of how you can get a bad credit rating:

  • Late credit payments
  • Inability to pay off debts on time
  • Bankruptcy
  • Court judgments
  • Criminal cases
  • Black mark by a prior credit agency

If you have any of the above charges against you then you are liable to go for a bad credit mortgage. However if you are self employed and don't have enough accounts, you can go for a self cert mortgage which is equal to a normal mortgage.
