How long does adverse credit stay relevant to a remortgage?
Most lenders look back over the last 3-6 years, but the impact usually fades the older the event is. Waiting for a default or CCJ to age can open up more lender options, though it isn't always necessary.
Will I have to pay an early repayment charge to remortgage?
Only if you're still within the fixed or discounted period of your current deal — it's worth checking your mortgage offer or asking your current lender before you commit to switching.
Can I release equity when remortgaging with bad credit in Bristol?
Yes, this is possible, though the amount you can release depends on your current equity and the lender's view of your credit history. A larger deposit-equivalent equity position generally opens more options.
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.
What documents will I need for a bad credit remortgage?
Typically recent payslips or accounts, bank statements, your current mortgage statement, and details of any CCJs, defaults or arrangements — Darryl will confirm exactly what's needed once he knows your circumstances.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
