MRS Wilson – 10th May, 2026
Myself and my wife went through a bad patch in our life , we got into debt fell behind on payments and had poor credit history. After being rejected by high street lenders. After feeling defeated and feeling we had let our children down. We came across SN mortgages after a friendly chat on the phone with no judgment we managed to get a mortgage in principle within few days which eventually went on to be a competed mortgage offer and to get back on the property ladder and give our kids a great future. Steven and his wife work in a very professional manner with no judgment. Highly recommend using SN mortgages thank you for everything

We were ready to throw the towel in thinking we couldn’t get a Mortgage after bad advice from another broker, came across SN Mortgages after a quick Google and filled in their contact form as a last ditch attempt. Thank goodness I did call from Steven who treated us like human beings listening and fully understanding our needs sorted things out so quickly as we were on a tight schedule with a Right to Buy application. He answered emails and called us out of his work hours and even whilst he was on holiday going the extra mile to help, his wife Sue also went out of her way always available to help and answered all of my questions assuring me they weren’t silly as we really didn’t have a clue what we were doing as first time buyers. Then onto Aisha no waiting around for a reply to an email they were answered in minutes nothing was ever any trouble for her and she kept us fully up to date. All we can say is definitely give them a call we were very quickly written off by others but Steven and his team treated us with dignity and respect from the start and got us what we wanted as they were willing to put in the work and deserve every penny of their fee and we can’t thank them all enough so happy we found you Mortgage offer received very quickly after what we thought was impossible.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Sue and Steven. After I had credit difficulties in the past I never thought I would be able to own my own home buy with the kind help and advice from them we managed to secure a mortgage and have been in our home for over 6 months now.
There was no judgement just honest help and advice, they were always on hand to answer questions and liaise with our estate agent when needed.
They went way above and beyond our expectations! Thank you again
Sam Turner – 12th Feb, 2026
From the very first interaction, I knew Steven Neale and his mortgage company were the right fit for us. We had an extremely complex situation and genuinely believed that securing a mortgage was out of our reach.
However, Steven navigated our unique circumstances with exceptional professionalism, clarity, and ease.
He took the time to understand our needs, explained every step clearly, and remained supportive and reassuring throughout the process. What felt overwhelming and impossible was made achievable through his expertise and commitment.
We are incredibly grateful to Steven and everyone involved for making what we thought was impossible a reality. I would highly recommend his services to anyone, especially those who feel their situation is complicated or challenging.Andy Conway – 8th Jan, 2026
Highly recommend!!! They have been a godsend. They went above and beyond to get us the mortgage we needed to purchase our property, where others wouldn’t or couldn’t help. Their fees may be a little higher than most but if that is what it takes to get the deal done, it was worth every penny. Steve, Sue and Aisha have been there to answer all of our questions and have given us the best advice. We cannot thank them enough.
Lorraine Moore – 5th Jan, 2026
We wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you all for your incredible support and guidance throughout the mortgage process. Your expertise, patience, and attention to detail made a potentially stressful experience feel much more manageable and straightforward. We truly appreciated how responsive and approachable each of you were answering our questions promptly and keeping us informed every step of the way. It was a real pleasure working with such a dedicated and professional team. Thanks again for helping us secure our mortgage, we could not have done it without you!
Alexandra Haluca – 18th Dec, 2025
Amazing service from first point of contact! My initial contact with Steven Neale on the back of what I thought was probably a bit of a hopeless enquiry led to him sourcing me a mortgage, skilfully negotiating pitfalls and Steven and Sue working with me to collate the necessary information to progress to a submission. From there, Zoe Vango has been amazing, constantly keeping me updated and requesting information timely which has today led to a mortgage offer which at 60 yrs old, I had given up on! I only wish I had contacted them years ago! Thank you so much to all involved!
Mike Mathews – 18th Dec, 2025
I have felt very well looked after throughout this process, and advocated for, to meet my individual financial needs. The communication between Steven, Sue and I has been of the highest standard, and I could not have asked for more. I was treated without prejudice, and with understanding, and I am so happy that I have been able to buy a home which my daughter and I can now settle into, and start a new chapter. Thank you so much Steven and Sue!

Expert Advice For Adverse Credit Mortgages
Mortgage Arrears
Would you lend to someone if they had missed payments on their mortgage? Thankfully, there are lenders who will.
Defaults
Defaults registered over 2 years ago can be ignored, do not have to be repaid and you can borrow up to 100% of property value
CCJs
The main consideration a lender will want to know when looking at the CCJ’s on your credit file is the date they were registered
IVAs
IVAs are a serious credit issue, however, I’ve helped many clients who have had IVAs to get a mortgage
DMPs
Not a problem. You can keep the DMP going, clear it or have it repaid in the past. Whatever situation you are in, I have lenders that would consider you for a mortgage.
Bankruptcy
Many people I talk to are delighted to find that after talking to me they do qualify for a mortgage having been made Bankrupt
Repossession
This is the tricky one! Understandably lenders are extremely wary of lending if you have previously had a property repossessed
Mortgage Declined
Having been refused a mortgage isn’t the end of your home buying dream, but what you do next is very important.
Contractors
Has Your Contractor Mortgage Been Declined? Special circumstances need a Specialist Contractor Mortgage Broker
Right to Buy
Mortgages are readily available from the High Street however many of them will only accept you if you have a clean credit history.
Help to Buy
Help to Buy (Wales) is still available until 30th September 2026 so you need to act fast! I know of 5 lenders offering mortgages if you have a poor credit history.
Shared Ownership
100% Mortgages Available! A Shared Ownership mortgage can help you get on to the property ladder sooner as you do not need a deposit!
Product Transfers
By using a Product Transfer, Homeowners could save hundreds of pounds per month by changing their current lenders interest rate to a new deal
Second Charge Mortgages
Do you need a loan but your existing mortgage lender has said no? The answer maybe a Second Charge Mortgage. This service is by referral only.
Bridging Loans
Bridging finance really should be your last place for finance having exhausted family, friends, mortgage lenders and second charge lenders. This service is by referral only.
FAQs
Applying for a mortgage with bad credit is a tricky business. If your mortgage application is rejected, this can act as a red flag to other lenders. This is why it’s crucial to get it right first time, by using an experienced and qualified bad credit mortgage broker, who can tell you with a high degree of certainty, who is likely to lend, and who is not, based on your credit file and personal circumstances.
Unlike applying for a mortgage with a high street lender, where there are sourcing systems that quickly & easily find the best mortgage for you by entering your details, there is no such help when it comes to finding a bad credit mortgage.
First, a Broker has to read a copy of your credit file and understand its contents. It requires a real understanding of the information on your file to be able to match the information to a lender, and this can only be learnt with time and experience.
Having read your credit file, a broker has to manually look for an adverse credit mortgage lender that would consider you based on your credit history (as well as other factors such as income and employment status). There is no automatic process for this so each lender’s criteria has to be assessed to see whether they would lend.
A bad credit mortgage broker like myself has access to the specific lending criteria of a wide panel of lenders who can help those with credit issues. Having this level of insight allows me to match an applicant with the right lender based on the applicant’s specific credit issues and the lender’s own criteria.
Without this knowledge, applicants would essentially be applying blindly to lenders hoping that they meet their criteria, and in most cases, they will not if they have credit issues. Applying for mortgages in such a way will further damage the applicants credit score by resulting in a string of rejected applications.
Depending on your credit file and the severity of your credit issues, it’s possible that I would not be able to match you with a lender. This is fairly rare as I work with a wide range of lenders who cater for all levels of credit issues, but it is possible.
In such circumstances, I would identify the particular issue with your credit file which puts you out of range for an application, and highlight when you would be able to apply, and who with.
In short, no, but they do have access to most. In the case of bad credit mortgages, brokers like myself will have access to the vast majority of products available. In addition, many lenders in the bad credit market will only deal with certified brokers and do not allow applicants to apply directly.
Get in touch to discuss your mortgage requirements and specific credit issues, and I’ll be happy to talk you through your options.
