Bad Credit Home Loans

At Positive Home Loans, we believe everyone should have the chance to own their own home, even if you’ve had a few financial hiccups along the way. If you have a limited or poor credit history, you’ve come to the right place to start your clean credit future.

We’re confident we can give you that second chance and change your financial outlook for the better and do our best to give you the opportunity to own your own home with a loan that you really can afford, and in a few years, you’ll only be asking why you hadn’t done it sooner.

Why consider a bad credit home loan?

While you’ll pay higher interest rates for a poor credit mortgage, there are some compelling reasons you should consider applying for a poor credit home loan.

  • You’ll be out of the rental market and into a home that’s yours as long as you choose to keep it.
  • Owning your own home gives you the opportunity to establish a solid residence and employment record. This will allow you to begin to repair your credit history with the certainty that you have the stability you need to build a secure future for yourself and your loved ones.
  • As time passes and you consistently meet your repayments, you’ll improve your credit rating.
  • With a better credit score, you’ll be able to refinance your home loan at a lower interest rate sometime in the future.
  • Your home loan will have most of the features of a regular home loan, but will be designed for your circumstances to allow you to own your own home and build your net worth.

Will you be eligible for a bad credit home loan?

As long as you have some evidence that you will be able to service the loan by meeting regular repayments, we’re pretty confident that we’ll find the right loan for you.

For a bad credit mortgage, you will need a larger deposit than for a clean credit home loan. Depending on the exact circumstances, you’ll need a deposit of at least 5% of the total loan amount.

We can find a home loan for you if you have a poor credit rating due to:

  • Paid or unpaid defaults, including credit card defaults
  • Repossessions
  • Discharged bankruptcies
  • Limited credit history
  • Discharge after a Part 9 Debt Agreement
  • A lot of loan enquiries
