Told "No" by Another Broker, Bought Their Home Anyway

A default registered the month before you apply. Another broker says it's impossible. Is it?

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The story

How we got it done.

01 · The goal

What they wanted

To buy their home, having already been told by another broker that they couldn't get a mortgage.

02 · The challenge

Why it was complex

A default of over £2,000 was registered just weeks before the application, on top of older missed payments.

03 · The solution

How we structured it

We found the one lender that would accept the recent default. We chose a product with no early repayment charges so they can move to a cheaper lender as soon as their credit improves.

04 · The result

The outcome

They bought the house, and there is already a plan to remortgage onto a better rate.
