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