5 Non bank lenders who may say yes if the bank says no
(Some even offer 10% deposit home loans)
AI summary
If a bank declines your mortgage, a non-bank lender may offer a solution. They have more flexible criteria, making them ideal for the self-employed, those with bad credit, or buyers with a small deposit.
While they often have higher interest rates and fees, their risk-based approach means they can approve loans traditional banks won't. Key lenders include:
- Avanti Finance and Pepper Money for residential loans
- First Mortgage Trust for developers
Consider these lenders if you need a more tailored approach.
