Questions
What mortgage options exist for those with poor credit?
We specialise in adverse credit mortgages through specialist lenders. Your eligibility depends on credit history severity, recent financial conduct, and current affordability.
How does equity release work?
Equity release lets homeowners over 55 access tax-free cash from property equity. We offer regulated lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans with no negative equity guarantees.
Can I get commercial finance with previous credit issues?
Yes, we work with lenders who consider business strength and security rather than just credit history. We've successfully arranged finance for clients with CCJs, defaults, and past bankruptcies.
What areas do you cover?
While based in Derby, we provide mortgage and finance solutions across Derbyshire, the East Midlands, and throughout the UK.
How quickly can commercial finance be arranged?
Simple commercial mortgages complete in 3-4 weeks, bridging finance in 1-2 weeks. Development finance typically takes 4-6 weeks depending on documentation speed and project complexity.
