Bad Credit Mortgages

If you’ve been turned down for a mortgage due to bad or adverse credit, don’t lose hope. At Creating Mortgage Solutions, we believe that past financial difficulties shouldn’t stop you from moving forward—and we’re here to help make what feels impossible, possible.

​

We work closely with a panel of specialist lenders who understand that life isn’t always straightforward. These lenders look beyond just your credit score, taking into account your current income, financial stability, and individual circumstances.

​

While some bad credit mortgages may come with slightly higher rates or require a larger deposit, there are now more competitive options than ever. We’ll take the time to understand your situation and source a suitable product you’re unlikely to find by going directly to a bank.

​

Whether you're recovering from defaults, CCJs, missed payments, or other credit issues, our expert mortgage advisers in Barry and Cardiff are here to guide you with honesty, empathy, and tailored solutions.

Remortgage

Remortgaging Made Simple – Switch, Save & Take Control

​

Remortgaging means switching your current mortgage deal—often to a new lender—to get a better rate, release equity, or manage your finances more effectively. Many homeowners choose to remortgage simply because their initial fixed or discounted rate has ended, and they want to avoid moving onto a higher standard variable rate.

​

By reviewing your options, you could secure a lower interest rate and reduce your monthly payments. Remortgaging can also be a smart way to consolidate debts, helping to ease the pressure of credit card balances or other regular outgoings by combining them into one manageable payment.

​

Whatever your reason—whether it's to save money, free up funds, or gain financial clarity—our expert mortgage advisers in Barry and Cardiff are here to guide you through the process from start to finish, with honest advice and access to a wide range of lenders.

Let us help you make your mortgage work harder for you.

Buy To Let

Buy to Let Mortgage Advice – For New & Experienced Landlords

​

The Buy to Let (BTL) mortgage market continues to grow and evolve—but navigating the rules can be complex, especially for first-time landlords. Whether you're purchasing your first rental property or expanding your portfolio, it's essential to understand how Buy to Let mortgages differ from standard residential mortgages.

​

You can purchase a Buy to Let property either as an individual or through a limited company. When assessing your application, lenders consider several key factors:

​

  • Rental income potential – Approval is typically based on expected rental income and the terms of any tenancy agreement.

  • Top slicing – In some cases, your personal income may be used to cover any shortfall in rental income.

  • Your classification as a Regulated BTL, Consumer BTL, or Portfolio Landlord – each with its own criteria and implications.

​

With so many variables, it’s important to get expert advice from a broker who understands the Buy to Let landscape. At Creating Mortgage Solutions, we help landlords in Barry, Cardiff, and across South Wales secure the right BTL mortgage for their goals.

​

Please note: Buy to Let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
