Higher chance of approval 
New Bankruptcy & IVA Exclusives
I’m genuinely delighted to announce that many of OMA’s affiliated expert adverse credit mortgage brokers have been selected as part of an exclusive club of specialists, gaining access to an exclusive range of products.
This is great for brokers – even better for our borrowers, who may be finding us for the first time or are already under management, as many will be eligible far sooner than they ever thought possible! We have been helping people with a history of bankruptcy or IVA for years now, but these new criteria improvements that have been in the pipeline for some time, now make it an incredible time for those looking to buy or remortgage.
So what’s new?
There are now new lenders offering refinance or purchase mortgages up to 75% LTV even if only discharged from Bankruptcy 1 year ago, or currently in an IVA. The amount of equity / deposit required for these products is now 20% to those 2 years discharged, 10% at 3 years, and 5% over 4 years.
| Current issue | 1 year discharge | 2 year discharge | 3 year discharge | 4 year discharge | 5 year discharge | 6 year discharge | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bankruptcy | Loan to repay only* | 75% LTV | 80% LTV | 90% LTV | 95% LTV | 95% LTV | 95% LTV |
| Debt Relief Order (DRO) | Loan to repay only* | 75% LTV | 80% LTV | 90% LTV | 95% LTV | 95% LTV | 95% LTV |
| IVA | 70% LTV | 75% LTV | 80% LTV | 85% LTV | 85% LTV | 95% LTV | 95% LTV |
*It can be possible to mortgage whilst currently in bankruptcy, or before 1 years full discharge, however this relates only to those who have the equity in their property to full repay and annul the order. This is usually capped at around 70% LTV. More on this in our bankruptcy article.
**The actual offer of a mortgage will depend on an individuals status and circumstances.

Want to apply before you’re eligible? Not a problem!
As part of the arrangement, so long as you are eligible before you complete on the mortgage, you can apply early! This means that borrowers who are, for example, 9 months after discharge on a bankruptcy, can apply today with just 30% deposit, on the basis that their transaction doesn’t complete until the full 12 months is up.
