Initial Consult

Hi,

Could really do with some advice please? I have a good rate with Natwest in which I am able to port! The idea is to down size and release some capital from my property. However since taking out my current mortgage deal I have entered a debt management program, which in turn has given me a poor credit rating due to defaults being registered on my credit file. My question is: Would Natwest still keep me on the same rate considering my poor credit rating even if I did pass all the affordability checks? or would they likely pull the deal? My worry is highlighting to the mortgage company my situation? and risk losing my rate and potentially my mortgage?

    The lender can not pull your deal if you stay where you are.
    They can decline you for moving house. Chances are, they probably will. Although you could appeal the decision on the basis that you are reducing the loan amount and the risk factor (assuming you keep the loan amount at the same loan to value or lower).
