Does self-employment make a bad credit remortgage harder?
It adds an extra layer of underwriting — usually 1-2 years of accounts or tax calculations — but it doesn't rule you out. Specialist lenders regularly assess self-employed applicants alongside adverse credit.
Can I remortgage a buy-to-let property with bad credit?
Yes, though buy-to-let lenders typically focus more heavily on rental income covering the mortgage payment, alongside the usual review of your credit history and the property's loan-to-value.
Will a remortgage application show on my credit file?
A full application involves a credit search, which leaves a mark, but the initial assessment with Darryl is done without one — so you can explore your options first without any impact.
Will consolidating debt into my remortgage help my credit?
It can reduce monthly outgoings and simplify your finances, but it converts short-term debt into long-term secured debt — worth modelling the full cost before deciding.
Should I try a product transfer before a full remortgage?
Often yes — if your current deal is ending, your existing lender may offer a product transfer without a new credit check, which is worth exploring first.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
