Bad Credit Mortgages - How To Find The Best Deal For You
By IC
The term bad credit mortgages is never music to a borrowers’ ears, yet for a variety of reasons, it might be that they find themselves falling into the mortgages camp. It would appear that, these days, having a score is not a problem when it comes to funding your home – after all, mortgages are advertised everywhere.
But, while it might be easy to secure this type of borrowing, consumers need to be especially careful about the deal they end up with; after all, once you start paying for mortgages is too late to understand the steep interest rates and tie-ins involved. That’s why it is imperative that you seek advice from an independent broker that specialises in mortgages first, like The Mortgage Broker Limited (TMBL).
What exactly are mortgages?
As they say on the tin, mortgages – also known as adverse credit, impaired credit or subprime mortgages – are designed to cater for borrowers with a low credit score on their personal credit file. This file is held (but not determined) by one of three credit reference agencies in the UK; namely Experian, Equifax and CallCredit. There are three primary levels of mortgages, light, adverse and heavy with several ‘shades of grey’ in between – but fundamentally, where you fall on this scale will determine the cost of mortgages.
Why would I need to look at mortgages?
At the end of the day, mortgages are loans of last resort – so why would your credit score be bad enough to warrant one? The straightforward reason is because you have either defaulted or been late in paying any debt. This could be any agreement from a mobile phone to a credit card to your Council Tax payment. Each of these ‘mistakes’ will appear on your credit score and can result in a County Court Judgment (CCJ) against you. The number of these CCJs you have on your file, with other information, will affect your credit score and, in turn, what level of mortgages you will need to opt for.
If I have to apply for mortgages, is it always my fault?
Consumers can often be left having to apply for mortgages through no fault of their own. Life changing circumstances such as a divorce, illness in the family or the collapse of a business can often result in mortgages.
What’s the difference between standard and mortgages?
The main point of difference between standard and mortgages is their cost. Depending on your circumstances, mortgages

Closed Loan!!!
I was just surfing and found this chain of comments. I closed a loan with Adam Ellis at Eagle Nationwide Mortgage just a few days ago. The service was very professional and we closed exactly how I was informed we would. I have refinanced a few times now and this is the first time that the loan details I was quoted in the beginning were the same at the closing table. A couple friends of mine redid their mortgages recently and my pricing is much better! I am very pleased and would recomend their A...

Can we say the co-borrower is living with us even if she is not?
My husband and I will not qualify for a permanent loan (he's self employed and started another company just 1 year ago) unless we say my mom will be living with us (she's our co-borrower). Can we say that she's living with us in order to qualify, even if she may only be there part-time?
Mortgage Foreclosure
I just received a nasty letter in the mail from Bank of America (the servicer on a Freddie Mac mortgage), because for a few days (while it took the bank time to process the payment) we were just over 120 + days past due. Today we are 99 days past due, but we can make a payment to bring us to only 68 days past due.
We live in Washington state, any idea if they will still proceed with a foreclosure?
Can I use a Quit Claim Deed to escape this mess?
I was placed on a Joint Tennancy Deed to do a refinance and buy out the other two individuals that were originally on the deed. The whole thing fell apart while I was deployed and I'm still on the title. I was never placed on the mortgage for the home. The home is really cheap at about 38k left but now has 13k of back owed payments and taxes and is going to be auctioned. The house is in very poor conditions and needs major repair work if not completely rebuit. I really hate loosing out on t...
What is a "Short Pay"
I have been trying to refi for cash out. I have been told that the value in the home isn't there and I can only borrow up to 85% of the value. Hard to say the value, but an elderly couple recently sold on my block for 350K which killed any possible refi. However, now I may even be upsidedown. We owe 488k and paid 521k 2yrs ago.
Someone called me and offered to try to do a andquot;Short Payandquot; option which is different than a short sale or a modification. The goal is hopefully neg. w/ ...

1st time home buyer tax credit
I and my boyfriend bought a house together and I couldn't be qualified to be on the mortgage because I'm still in school. However, we added my name to the deed and the mortgage payments are coming out of my account. Do I qualify for the tax credit?
Michigan bankruptcy and mortgage
Hi, we have filed ch. 7.
1) we are NOT behind in any mortage payments
2) we have been advised to NOT reaffirtm since the house is $54k top heavy due to falling values.
Question:
It is my understanding that the bank CANNOT just toss us out, they would however be forced to foreclose IF I stop paying payments.
IS this correct? I am asking because if the mortgage is BK'd would, IF we stopped paying later, have to fol...
can be 100 per cent more expensive that the most competitive standard deals on the market – and even almost the same price if you only have a spattering of bad credit. But as the borrower poses a higher risk in the eyes of the lender, mortgages of any level can require a larger deposit than on mainstream deals. mortgages can also come with some hefty upfront fees and restrictive tie-ins.
How can I get rid of mortgages?
The good news is that you will not have to stick with mortgages for ever. Having shown you can repay the loan successfully for a period of up to three years, you will then be eligible for a cheaper ‘high street’ mortgage again. That’s why you should never look at mortgages that carry tie-ins for more than three years.
How do I apply for mortgages?
It’s easy to apply for mortgages but there are an increasing number of pitfalls to navigate. As well as the three-year tie-in rule, the recent credit has meant many providers of mortgages have tightened lending criteria which makes the help of an experienced broker like TMBL more necessary than ever.
