  • Remortgaging.... d'oh!

    I am now a) kicking myself and b) thanking my lucky stars that I ever found this forum, in equal measure...

    We have been stuck on our mortgage lender's SVR for a few years now as they wouldn't offer us a new deal when our last one ended, and we were going through all sorts of financial stress so weren't going to look very attractive to other lenders.

    The last 2/3 years things have got a lot better though we still have a couple of defaults between us (not long to go though).

    I have (naively) assumed that we would have to hang on until all defaults had fallen off our files before we could remortgage.

    But having trawled some of the threads on the mortgage section this evening, the truth has dawned. I've just completed an online remortgage application and am saving us £70 a month.

    Another reason to thank AAD and all the lovely advice on here

    Congratulations, I hope everything goes through smoothly. I think it can depend on how close to the 6 years that the default is.

        Thanks both.

        The thing I hadn't realised is (with our lender at least) there is no credit check for a swap to a different deal with the same lender.
        Arrgh!

          i extended our term with our existing mortgage lender right in the middle of the shitstorm we had and it was fine, very smooth.

          Have now paid it off in full and that was a bloody nightmare, they didn't seem to get that bit!!

            Sorry MrsD, didn't see your reply before.

            It'll be a while before we're paid off... so I'l worry about that when the time comes
