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 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.
Can I remortgage in Leicester 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.
Can I release equity when remortgaging with bad credit in Leicester?
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.
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.
