Verifi Mortgages, a UK-based mortgage broker specialising in inclusive solutions, recently assisted an Essex resident with a patchy credit history in securing her new home—challenging the assumption that bad credit always leads to rejection.
Sophie, a single mum, thought her poor credit—marked by defaults and missed bills—would delay her homeownership dreams. But Verifi Mortgages took a custom approach that led to a surprising breakthrough.
“I thought I didn’t stand a chance,” Sophie said. “But Verifi found a lender who listened to my story, not just my score.”
A Human Approach to Mortgage Solutions
Rather than a templated approach, Verifi analysed Sophie’s full credit profile, partnered her with a suitable lender, and supported her application with clear and credible evidence. This resulted in a fixed-rate deal with a sub-15% deposit and no need for a guarantor—even with past credit issues.
“It’s not about selling products — it’s about building pathways,” says Jason Foord, Director at Verifi Mortgages. “We treat each case like it matters — because it does.”
Modern Tools for Complex Borrowers
With intelligent software, manual reviews, and a digital-first process, Verifi Mortgages guides applicants through each step, simplifying what can be an intimidating system.
Inspiring Credit-Challenged Buyers
Sophie’s case joins a growing library of real-life client stories on the Verifi website, where those with financial setbacks can discover actionable guidance, lender tips, and hope.
