Video transcript
If you`re concerned about not being able to get a new mortgage for your property because of your credit history, you should consult First Choice Finance about an adverse credit remortgage.According to Aqua, 72 per cent of people who get declined loans miss out because they haven`t completed previous payment agreements, whilst opening multiple accounts and apparently making more than four credit applications in a year can also affect your credit score.
If these things are related to your being over indebted with credit and you`re finding your existing outgoings a struggle, an adverse credit remortgage may help, as you can use the money to pay off your existing unsecured loans to leave you with a single lower repayment each month.
This should ease your cash flow and as long as you`re able to keep up the payments, it may well rectify your credit situation for applications next time around.
You do, however, need to bear in mind that this kind of remortgage may mean you end up paying more in interest over its full term.
Of course, you may be looking to remortgage for other reasons, like your existing deal is about to run out and you don`t want to be put on your lender`s standard variable rate and release some money.
Often when you have had adverse credit, you may think your options are limited or even none existent, but that needn`t be the case when applying through First Choice Finance.
That`s because we look through a wide selection of options and provide the most suitable one for you on a no-obligation basis, which you decline for free if you don`t think it`s right for you.
