Clare Hanson – my financial advisor. She is absolutely brilliant. I cannot describe how good she is at what she does. You tell her what you need and she delivers. Honest, professional, and always looking out for me.

Highly recommend using My Mortgage Specialist. Clare has helped my partner and me buy our first home together and we couldn't be happier. We felt supported through every step of the way!

Luke and Miranda were incredibly helpful throughout my remortgage. They found great deals even after I transitioned from the military to self-employment. 10 out of 10 for customer service!

Specialist bad credit mortgage advisers

A poor credit file doesn't mean the door is closed. High street banks use rigid automated scoring, but specialist lenders assess your story — how old the adverse credit is, why it happened and what's changed since. We place cases every week for clients with defaults, CCJs, arrears, debt management plans, IVAs and discharged bankruptcies.

Credit issues we deal with every day

Defaults & CCJs

Many lenders ignore satisfied defaults and CCJs after a certain point. We know exactly which ones and when.

Missed Payments

Late payments on credit cards, loans or a previous mortgage don't have to stop you buying or remortgaging.

Talk to an adviser

IVAs & Bankruptcy

Discharged bankruptcies and completed IVAs are placed with lenders every week. We handle the whole case for you.

Declined Elsewhere

Turned down by your bank or a comparison site? A decline isn't the end — it usually means the wrong lender.
