FAQs for Specialist Mortgages
Yes, specialist lenders are often willing to work with applicants who have adverse credit histories, such as missed payments, defaults, or even previous bankruptcy. Whilst the interest rates may be higher, these mortgages provide a valuable opportunity for those who might otherwise be unable to secure financing. Lenders will assess your current financial situation and ability to repay the loan, rather than focusing solely on past credit issues.
Generally, yes. Specialist mortgage applications require manual underwriting and more detailed financial information, which means the process can take longer than standard mortgage applications. However, working with experienced brokers like Mortgage Matters can help you prepare your documents correctly and communicate efficiently with lenders to minimise delays.
Yes, specialist mortgages generally require a larger deposit than mainstream loans. Often, deposits start at around 15% to 25% of the property’s value, although this can vary depending on the lender and your specific circumstances. As a larger deposit reduces the risk to the lender, it can improve both your chances of approval, and the mortgage terms offered.
Income proof depends on your employment status. Employed borrowers usually provide payslips and P60s, whilst self-employed applicants may need two to three years of tax returns and accountant-prepared accounts. Some lenders accept alternative proof, such as bank statements or contracts, especially if your income is irregular. Mortgage Matters will advise you on the best documentation to submit based on your situation.
