    Depending on your income and your exact credit credit history/full set of circumstances you should be able to re-mortgage on a no ties deal

    One option should be to try the Halifax and see what they will offer you on a no ties basis, although this will depend on how long you have been self employed.

    70,000 is approx 4.375 x £16000 :o Not a huge amount of lenders who will do this on a self cert basis (ie you are not able to provide accounts etc).

    Your choice will also depend on what you mean by "my credit history his not very good" - is this CCJs and defaults or just a few late payments on a couple of storecards? How long ago?

    How long have you been self-employed - do you have any form of accounts/self assessment returns that may prove your income?

    A combination of a poor credit history, self certification and the multiple you need will make it tricky to get a 'no ties' deal, but your equity will help things along. I can think of a lender who will probably tie you in for 1 year with a 1% penalty (£700) which is not as bad as some (6% or £4200 is not unheard of).

    Because of the number of variables, I would say to get advice and to choose a whole of market adviser preferably through reccomendations from family and friends. Failing that, speak with a couple of firms, making sure to ask the questions that Martins suggests in
