Think carefully about securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or other debt secured on it.

Navigating the mortgage market with a Debt Management Plan can be challenging. We specialise in helping people in your situation, connecting you with specialist lenders (those willing to assess non-standard credit applications)  who recognise your commitment to resolving debt. 

  • We may work with lenders who consider DMPs in certain cases, subject to their criteria
  • Our expertise is in securing mortgages for those with a less-than-perfect credit history, including clients currently in or recently finished a DMP.
  • We provide a personalised service, guiding you through the complex application process to help you explore mortgage solutions that may be appropriate to your circumstances.

How a Specialist Broker can Help

While it might be tempting to go directly to a high-street bank, the reality is that many of them have a very strict lending policy and are likely to decline an application if you have a Debt Management Plan. This is where a specialist mortgage broker becomes invaluable. We have access to a wide network of specialist lenders who don’t fit the mould of a traditional bank. These lenders are much more flexible and are willing to assess your application on an individual basis, rather than using a rigid, automated system.

A specialist broker will not only know which lenders are most likely to consider your application but will also help you present your case in the best possible light. We can help you gather all the necessary documentation, explain your circumstances to the lender, and highlight your commitment to your DMP. Our expertise can save you time, reduce stress, and significantly increase your chances of securing a mortgage, helping you to move forward with your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to be in a DMP before I can get a mortgage?

There is no fixed time frame, as it depends on the individual lender’s criteria. Some specialist lenders may consider an application after a certain period of successful payments on your DMP, while others may require the plan to be completed. Lenders will assess your overall financial situation, including your payment history, the amount of debt you have, and your deposit. This varies by lender. Some may require a set period of regular payments; others may require the DMP to be completed, or a partial history of successful repayments.

Will being in a DMP affect my mortgage interest rate?

Yes, it’s likely that a mortgage taken out while you are in a DMP will have a higher interest rate than a standard high-street mortgage, but exact rates depend on lender and your credit. This is because specialist lenders take on a greater risk. However, as your financial situation improves and the DMP is completed, you may be able to remortgage to a more competitive rate in the future.

Can a DMP mortgage help me consolidate my debts?

A debt consolidation mortgage is a type of remortgage that allows you to pay off your existing debts and combine them into one new mortgage. It can be a way to clear your unsecured debts, but it is a complex process. A mortgage broker can help you assess whether this is a suitable option and find a lender who will consider your circumstances.

Should I continue with my DMP or try to get a mortgage first?

It is often recommended to continue with your DMP, as it shows lenders a responsible and disciplined approach to managing your debts. Abandoning your DMP could negatively impact your credit file and make it much more difficult to get a mortgage. A specialist broker can advise on the best course of action for your unique situation.

Will a DMP mortgage affect my home's value?
No, a mortgage itself does not affect the value of your home. The value is determined by the property’s size, location, condition, and the current market. A DMP mortgage is simply a mortgage product that is more suitable for someone with a Debt Management Plan; it doesn’t change the nature of your property. However, it’s always wise to get a professional valuation of your property from a qualified surveyor to understand its true market value.
When a DMP might not be a suitable option for you?

This option will not be suitable for everyone. For example, if your DMP arrears are high, or your overall borrowing is large relative to property equity, or your income is low or unstable, you may not qualify. Each lender sets different criteria; you will need a full financial assessment before proceeding
