Many people with bad credit are reluctant to apply for a home loan and are often told they will not qualify for a mortgage – this may not be the case.

Even with a less than perfect credit history including paid or unpaid defaults, mortgage arrears and bankruptcy, Liberty can work with you to find a great home loan solution.
If you are unsure of your credit history, get in contact with a credit reporting agency like Veda, Dunn & Bradstreet or Experian for a free copy of your credit report.
This report includes much of the information that counts towards a poor credit score including number and type of loan enquiries, type of credit providers, unpaid debts and credit infringements.
Having bad credit often refers to there being a default listed on your credit report. This affects your credit score and can make you appear riskier to some lenders, making it difficult to be approved for finance.
Liberty’s home loans can provide the flexibility borrowers may need to rethink their current financial situation and take a step forward.
When it comes to applying for a loan, most lenders consider an applicant to have bad credit if they are behind in existing loan repayments or have a poor credit report.
A poor credit report can be caused by many factors. For example, not paying or late payments on a utilities bill, can lead to an unpaid account listed as a default.
Similarly, applying for multiple loans with different lenders within a short timeframe can reduce the credit score on your report. If you have poor credit and are interested in our home loans to you move forward, speak to a Liberty Adviser today.
