Need a quick bit of advice please.

We are in the market to remortgage as its due but we’ve been made aware by our broker that we will struggle due to affordability this time round (reduced earnings and CC debt) even though our LTV is sub 50%, but have been offered a good deal by our current lenders NatWest

If this turns out to be our only option will we need to do a new application with them in terms of statements ,all other related docs and will the credit check us again etc?

Thanks as usual

    No. A customer retention product, or "product transfer" with your existing lender needs no further underwriting as long as you make no other change to your arrangements, such as increased borrowing.

    Many thanks

    Out of interest if we ask for a further advance to clear our CC debt too(around 6K) but this is declined on affordability can they then decline/withdraw a new core mortgage deal?

    Thanks

    AFAIK they are separate issues and they are stuck with your existing mortgage whatever happens.

    Only your lender can confirm this, though.

    Why not remortgage first with Nat west and then apply for additional borrowing a week or so later?

    That way you'll have the remortgage in the bag
