Bad credit mortgage advice in Dundee
The right place to start isn't a promise. It's a proper look at the detail.
What happened in the past doesn't have to shape what comes next.
Applying for a mortgage after missed payments, defaults or a previous refusal can feel like repeating the same explanation again and again. It doesn't have to feel that way.
Prestige Mortgage Solutions helps people across Dundee and Tayside understand what lenders may look for. We take time to understand what happened, where you stand today and what you want to achieve, then give you a realistic view of your options.
Whether you're looking at a tenement flat in the West End or a family home in Broughty Ferry, we deal with the research, the paperwork and the lender conversations, so you can make your next decision with greater confidence.
If this sounds familiar
Your credit history is just one piece of the picture
Lenders can interpret the same circumstances in quite different ways. We help you understand what the detail may mean before you apply.
01
Missed payments or defaults
A late payment or default doesn't give the whole picture. We look at when it happened, how much was involved and what has changed since.
02
CCJs or a debt plan
If you have a CCJ, IVA, debt management plan or settled account, lender criteria can vary a great deal. The detail really matters.
03
A complex application
Self-employed income, a past decline, payday loans or an unusual property can all call for a more carefully matched lender.
More than a credit score
We look at the story behind the figures.
A credit score is a useful indicator, but it isn't the whole lending decision. How long ago an issue happened, whether it has been settled, your income, your deposit, your commitments and the property itself can all change the outcome.
Our job is to link those details together and explain them without jargon. If an option isn't realistic, we'll tell you. If there may be a route worth exploring, we'll show you how it could work and what to weigh up.
Buying in Scotland
What should you know about a Dundee mortgage?
Local details can affect how a lender views your case. We make sure they're part of the discussion from the start.
Your Home Report matters
Every Scottish seller provides a Home Report with a surveyor's valuation. We check how it affects the amount you can borrow before you make an offer.
Tenements need the right lender
Traditional tenements, shared roofs, factoring arrangements and the general condition of a building can be seen differently from one lender to another.
Offers move quickly
If a property you like goes to a closing date, an agreement in principle can help you move with confidence.
How it works
From a private conversation to a clearer next step.
No pressure and no assumptions. Just a careful process that keeps you in the loop.

FAQs
Bad credit mortgage questions, answered.
Unsure where you stand? A conversation is often the fastest way to swap a general answer for one that fits your circumstances.
Can I get a bad credit mortgage in Dundee?
It may still be possible to get a mortgage in Dundee even if your credit history is poor. What's available will depend on your own circumstances, your income, your deposit and the type of credit issues you've had.
Which credit problems can affect a mortgage application?
Missed payments, defaults, CCJs, arrears and earlier debt problems can all play a part. Some lenders may still consider your application, depending on how recent and how serious the issues are.

The deposit you need can vary with your credit history and the lender. As a general rule, a larger deposit may open up a wider choice of mortgage options.

It may be possible. Some specialist lenders will look at applications from people with CCJs or defaults, particularly when the issue is older or has been settled.
