Can I get mortgage with bad credit?

The simple answer to this question is yes, it is still possible to get a mortgage with a bad credit score.

Having a good credit score means more lenders will be an option to you and you will have more choice from the products on offer. However, having a poor credit score does not mean there are not still options out there.
