Mortgage with Low Credit Score in Chester

Receiving a court order claiming you owe a certain amount to a lender can be a significant setback when applying for a bad credit mortgage. Besides being publicly listed as a defaulter, recipients often face personal condemnation that diminishes their confidence in pursuing financial opportunities like CCJ mortgages, which are heavily influenced by one’s credibility. Collaborating with an independent mortgage broker can help navigate these challenges. At James Wong Mortgages, a specialist independent mortgage broker based in Cheshire, we have the expertise and experience in handling mortgages for clients with a CCJ, guiding you through each step to alleviate any overwhelm from the complexities of the process.


Having a County Court Judgment (CCJ) can indeed complicate securing a mortgage, but it doesn't entirely close your options or automatically escalate your mortgage rate.


Lenders will scrutinize the specifics — including when the CCJ was registered, whether it has been satisfied, and your overall financial standing. While some high street lenders tend to be more cautious, there are specialist lenders who take a more nuanced view. With the right mortgage advice, it's possible to move forward with clarity and confidence.


Partnering with an independent mortgage adviser can make a tangible difference. At James Wong Mortgages, we specialise in assisting clients with CCJs, providing clear, practical advice and access to lenders who understand complex circumstances. This does not necessarily mean your mortgage rate will be significantly higher.


We are here to guide you through every stage of the process — helping you meticulously present your application, avoid unnecessary setbacks, and secure a mortgage that fits your unique situation.

Bad credit mortgage in Chester

What is a CCJ?

A County Court Judgment (CCJ) is a court order frequently issued by HM Courts and Tribunals Service in England and Wales to individuals who have defaulted on repaying their debt. This CCJ outlines the amount owed, the repayment methods available, and establishes a deadline for repayment. The impact of a CCJ on your financial situation largely depends on your response. If you reply within 30 days, the CCJ can be permanently removed from your credit record. However, if you make a payment after 30 days, it will remain on your file for 6 years, albeit marked as satisfied, which can complicate your ability to secure a bad credit mortgage. As a specialist mortgage broker with direct access to the whole market, we provide tailored mortgage advice in Chester, helping individuals navigate the challenges of obtaining a CCJ mortgage and securing the best mortgage products suited to your individual needs and overall credit profile.

Late Payments

 Having late or missed payments on your credit file does not automatically prevent you from getting a mortgage. Lenders will usually consider how recent the payments were, how often they occurred, the type of credit involved and whether your accounts have since been brought up to date.


We can review your credit history, income, affordability and deposit before identifying lenders whose criteria may be suitable for applicants with previous late payments. Some lenders may be more flexible where the payments were isolated, occurred some time ago or followed a temporary change in circumstances, although every application will be assessed individually on it's own merits.


We provide tailored mortgage advice for first-time buyers, home movers and homeowners looking to re-mortgage after late or missed payments. By reviewing your circumstances before submitting an application, we can help you approach suitable lenders and present your mortgage application as clearly as possible.
