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 in London 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.
Should I try a product transfer before a full remortgage?
Often yes — if your current deal is ending, your existing lender may offer a product transfer without a new credit check, which is worth exploring first.
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.
