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.
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.
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.
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.
