Bad Credit Mortgages

An increasing number of people would like to own their own home, but a large proportion of those wanting to buy stumble because of bad credit.

First time buyers make up a key part of the property market, and they are now growing in numbers. This group of first time buyers can be characterized as follows:

  • Young and upwardly mobile.
  • Ethnically diverse.
  • View home ownership as a sure way to build personal wealth.

Although this group of buyers are highly motivated towards buying their own property, many of them share one key problem - bad credit. This often means that the home buyer does not have the necessary funds available to make the down payment as well as limited funds to manage a monthly mortgage repayment. It is also often the case that young first time buyers will have a less than perfect credit rating, which is viewed as a risk by the mortgage lenders.

However, there are a growing number of mortgage lenders out there now who are willing to take the risk and lend to those with bad credit. These companies are available online where they maintain links with the home buyer and give out advce on how they should manage their finances best. In a property market that is increasingly oriented towards the first time buyer, mortgage lenders have realised that a short term history of bad credit (often built during college years) is not reason enough to deny a mortgage.
