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.
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.
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 in Exeter with bad credit?
Yes — remortgaging with adverse credit is often more achievable than a new purchase, particularly if you have built up equity. Specialist lenders assess the loan-to-value alongside your credit history.
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.
