What LTV do I need for a bad credit remortgage?
The lower your loan-to-value, the more lenders are willing to overlook adverse credit. A 50% LTV remortgage is generally far more achievable than a 90% LTV one with the same credit profile.
Is remortgaging with bad credit different to a first mortgage?
In some ways it's easier — your existing lender already knows your payment history, and equity in the property reduces the lender's risk regardless of adverse credit.
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.
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.
Can I remortgage while I'm still in an active DMP or IVA?
It's harder than after the arrangement has ended, but some specialist lenders will still consider you, particularly at a lower loan-to-value with a clean payment record on the arrangement itself.
