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 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.
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.
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 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.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
