Understanding a CCJ and Its Impact on Mortgages

A County Court Judgment (CCJ) can make securing a mortgage more challenging. A CCJ is a court order issued when you fail to repay a debt. This judgment stays on your credit report for six years. Lenders see this as a risk, which can affect your ability to get a mortgage.

However, having a CCJ does not mean you cannot get a mortgage. It just means you need to find the right lender and the right advice. This is where Mortgage321 can help.
