What Is A Poor Credit Remortgage?

Poor credit remortgages were designed to help those with a poor credit rating get a remortgage. You may have also heard them referred to as sub prime mortgages or adverse credit mortgages, they`re all pretty much the same.

Essentially the fundamental difference from a regular prime mortgage contract, is that instead they are aimed at customers who would normally fail a standard lender credit check, or decision in principle, known in the mortgage industry as a DIP. If you have had past defaults, missed payments, CCJs, or you currently are/ have been in a debt management plan, or IVA, the chances are that this could be you. Our specialised poor credit remortgage advisors can help you first establish your situation and then suggest which products are best suited to your circumstance.

Consolidating Poor Credit With A Remortgage

At First Choice we can help release equity from your property with a poor credit remortgage. The money raised from this remortgage can then be allocated towards paying off other, more expensive debts that you may have. This is essentially the idea of debt consolidation. Whether your debt has been built up from credit card balances, secured loans or a second mortgage, personal loans or even utility bills, then poor credit remortgages could effectively consolidate them all. Leaving you with one manageable monthly payment and facilitating a more efficient management of your finances. The missed payments that may have landed you in this position do not have to be carried through to your future and instead your remortgage can help you rebuild your credit score if all payments are maintained. Give us a call on the above number to talk through some of the specialised products we have access to.

What Is A Secured Loan


If you are a homeowner or mortgage payer and want to raise a significant sum, or have some adverse credit or want a longer loan repayment period, you may be drawn towards secured loans, but just what is a secured loan?

First Choice Finance can answer that for you and help you find the most suitable one for your circumstances.

First, it may be easier to set out what unsecured loans are – they can range from the spending that you put on your credit card to personal loans for a smaller amounts of money from a bank or other kind of lender which is usually based on your credit score and they rely solely on the good will of the borrower to pay the money back.

By contrast, a secured loan uses your property so that the lender has reassurance that they will get a return on the money they lend to you.

This leads to some secured loan lenders being more likely to lend you the money even if you`ve got an impaired credit record, the key here is to raise what you need and make sure the repayments are affordable.

The money borrowed from your secured homeowner loan could go towards a whole gamut of things, like purchasing a new people carrier for your expanding family or treating yourselves to a special cruise or major holiday if you`ve reached a significant milestone in your life or marriage.

Another use would be to reinvest the money into your house in the form of home improvements, through a new kitchen, orangery, bathroom or loft conversion for example.

This won`t only improve your enjoyment of the place, but could also make it worth more if you come to sell it in the future.

Alternatively, the money can be used to pay off existing unsecured debts so that you end up paying back lower amounts each month.

This kind of consolidation loan can make it easier to keep track of repayments, but may cost more interest over the period of the loan.
