What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Choices Mortgage Centre works across bad / adverse credit, buy-to-let and first-time buyers from Blackpool — a focused listing led by bad / adverse credit work.
Pairing first-time-buyer work with adverse credit is worth noting: a thin or damaged credit file is the single most common reason a first purchase falls over, and it needs a lender chosen for that rather than for its rate.
Bad / Adverse Credit
Adverse credit work means the firm places cases that high-street lenders decline — defaults, missed payments, CCJs, IVAs and discharged bankruptcies. Lenders in this space price by how recent and how severe the event was, so the date on your credit file matters more than the amount.

Buy-to-let borrowing is capped by a rental stress test rather than by your salary, and the sums differ sharply between personal ownership and a limited company. Portfolio landlords with four or more mortgaged properties face extra underwriting. The firm covers first purchases too, so first-time landlords should not be turned away for having no rental history.
Read the buy-to-let guideFirst-Time Buyers
First-time-buyer work means walking someone through it from scratch: what deposit is realistic, what an agreement in principle is worth to an estate agent, which schemes still exist and what lenders will ask to see. Adverse credit is also covered, which is the usual sticking point on a first application.

Frequently asked questions
What does Choices Mortgage Centre charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask Choices Mortgage Centre directly, as it must tell you before you commit. Buy-to-let and limited-company cases are often charged differently from residential ones — ask which bracket you fall into.
What types of mortgage does Choices Mortgage Centre handle?
Choices Mortgage Centre records bad / adverse credit, buy-to-let and first-time buyers, working from Blackpool. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Can Choices Mortgage Centre help if I have bad credit?
Choices Mortgage Centre lists adverse credit as an area it covers, which means it places cases involving defaults, missed payments, CCJs or an IVA. Bring the dates and amounts from your credit file to the first conversation — specialist lenders price on how recent the event was, so an adviser cannot give you a realistic answer without them.
Does Choices Mortgage Centre only cover Blackpool?
Choices Mortgage Centre is listed in Blackpool, but UK brokers are not restricted to their own area and most advise nationally by phone or video. You can also compare other mortgage brokers in Blackpool on MortgageMatch.
MortgageMatch is a directory, not a broker. We do not give advice. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
