Why some lenders say no
- Most lenders want the DMP fully satisfied (completed and closed) before considering.
- Active DMPs are accepted by a small specialist pool — typically with a higher deposit.
- Time since satisfaction matters — most want 12-36 months clean before considering.

Run My Affordability CheckFrequently asked questions
Does my DMP have to be closed?
For most lenders, yes. A small pool of specialists (Pepper, Vida, Kensington, Together) will consider active DMPs with 12+ months of on-time payments.
How long after DMP satisfaction can I apply?
High-street lenders typically want 36 months clean. Specialists often consider from 12 months. The time since the DMP was set up also matters to some lenders.
What about an IVA or bankruptcy?
IVAs and bankruptcies are separate categories with their own criteria — usually stricter than DMPs. Once discharged, time-since-discharge is the main factor.
Do I need a bigger deposit?
Usually yes. Most specialist lenders cap LTV at 80-85% for DMP applicants, regardless of satisfaction. A 20% deposit expands the lender pool meaningfully.
