🎯 Get My Free Score →❓ Common Questions
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN SECURED AGAINST IT.
