Adverse Credit Mortgages
At MORTGAGE ALTERNATIVES we understand that from time to
time people struggle to maintain or make
mortgage payments and
that sometimes circumstances dictate what is and isn't possible
to do with your money.
There are perfectly ordinary reasons that can make getting a
mortgage difficult - because of credit "hiccups" like CCJs,
arrears, moving frequently or simply being self employed. If
you're looking for an adverse credit mortgage, whatever your
circumstances, you will be surprised in how many ways a
qualified professional adviser can help, whether you're
remortgaging to consolidate existing debt, moving house or
simply want a better mortgage deal.
You will be assigned a professional adviser who will contact you
usually within minutes of submitting this form. If you wish to
speak to an adviser immediately simply phone 0845 833 7500.
What are adverse credit mortgages?
These come in a number of guises. Impaired,
sub-prime, non-conforming, specialist and adverse all mean the
same thing, it's simply that different lenders adopt different
terms to represent borrowers who have or have had credit
problems in the past. This might be county court judgements (CCJs),
previous mortgage or loan arrears, bankruptcy or voluntary
arrangements (IVA) with creditors.
The terms light, medium and heavy adverse credit represent the
level of adverse credit a borrower may have within each product
range. This varies from lender to lender. For example, a light
or low adverse product may allow for one missed mortgage or rent
payment in the last 12 months and up to £2000 of CCJs. A heavy
adverse product, however, may have no limits on payments missed
or CCJs - typically, the more adverse credit, the higher the
interest rate charged. They may also vary in loan-to-value
available. |

Upon receiving notification of a County Court Judgement, you
have one month in which to pay the amount in full BEFORE the CCJ
becomes registered with the Register of County Court Judgements.
Once the CCJ has been registered, even if you pay it in full at
a later date, it will remain on your credit record for six
years.
This will affect your credit history, but it is not the end of
the world as it will still be possible to get finance from
specialist lenders. |

| Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) |
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement, or IVA, is an alternative
to bankruptcy in which the debtor arranges a formal agreement
with his creditors to pay off a percentage of his debt over a
set period of time, usually around 5 years.
An IVA is often seen as advantageous to bankruptcy as it has
less of a negative effect on the person's history and
their home remains relatively untouched.
However if you have arranged an Individual Voluntary
Arrangement, you will probably be aware that although an IVA
makes it much easier for you to keep your home, it is standard
for many IVAs to include a clause that stipulates that after a
set number of years you will be required to have your home
valued and to give your creditors a certain percentage of the
equity that has been built up as a final payment. |

It is important to realize, however, that lending to discharged
bankrupts is higher risk and as a result the lenders have to
take measures to protect themselves. This generally results in
higher interest rates for the borrower or a decreased
Loan-to-Value (the percentage of the property value the lender
is willing to loan), or possibly both. |
