Adverse Accounts Recovery?

Hey,
Long story short: I run bricks and mortar gym, we were adversely affected by the lockdown at the start of the year. Although we received some support, our overhead stayed the same and our revenue suffered and it was my wage that had to drop to compensate. As a result, I missed some payments and my credit score is now poor.
How long does it take to recover from this? Everything is back up to date and payments automated so from here onwards it's good behaviour only.
Is it unrealistic to expect this to recover in time for applying for a mortgage around this time next year?
Thanks

Your credit score is irrelevant as no lender ever sees it. Time will fix the adverse information on your files though.0

Glad to hear time will fix. Hopefully 12 months will suffice0 -
