Bad Credit? We’re Still Here to Help First-Time Buyers
Becoming a homeowner for the first time is an exciting milestone—but if you have a history of bad credit, the process can feel overwhelming. The good news? You can still get approved for a mortgage, and we’re here to make that happen.

How to Check If You Have Bad Credit
If you’re unsure about your credit score, it’s easy to check:
You can view your full credit report using Check My File — a service that pulls data from all major credit reference agencies in one place. They offer a 30-day free trial (then £14.99/month, cancel anytime).
Your report will flag any potential issues, including missed payments, defaults, or incorrect details.
As part of our mortgage consultation process, we can also help you access your credit information and guide you on what it means for your application.
