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 release equity when remortgaging with bad credit in Chester?
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.
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.
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.
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.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
