thanks

from earlier today...
my dmp is finished since Jan- a few months ahead of what was Nov' end date.
Is it possible to approach my mortgage provider Nationwide, to request a shorter term re mortgage
I want to avoid a declined full application, which a term change means.
cra reports are clean of defaults post 6-10 years.
Score is recently lower as I have a few very low balance credit cards.
t.i.a.

I have been making regular overpayments,  though now where near enough during 2018-2021 whilst part time work.

I'm since giving full time a chance after unexpected Redundancy which could mean higher overpayments.

Is it an option to apply maybe with current Nationwide for 10 year term.
If this isn't likely to be approved, then overpayments it is

thanks

Thanks, though would like to know if possible, how soon I could be accepted for Reduced Term Mortgage.

Thanks

As you know the credit score you see isn't the same as one a lender sees, it's the credit history.

However, what I'm struggling to get my head round is why you would want to change your contractual mortgage term and shorten it, rather than make mortgage overpayments each month / year and have the term naturally reduce.

The latter way allows you to revert back to the lower contractual monthly mortgage payment in case of financial problems, loss of job etc and continue to meet payments. Changing the term potentially means higher payments which could be a struggle if anything happens.

But, as we all know your financial head works in a very different way to most of ours and whatever anyone says you will do what you plan.

Ide find reduced term motivational.
New reduced term payments, wouldn't even be as much as when I took this mortgage.

Remortgaging / picking a different fix and keeping your current term would keep contractual payments cheaper and still allow you to overpay and clear it sooner.

You will end up doing your plan. I wish you luck to keep building that positive credit history and hope you never end up back in the place you were before.

Can't contain myself, testing post dmp climate by Habito kindly checking my Experian report, before deciding if I meet TSB re-mortgage criteria.

Nice of Habito to finally provide answer today.
Seems I'm not yet credit rating acceptable as yet.

Nationwide, it is then, a few weeks to decide re mortgage quote.

thanks mser's a long road to proper mainstream mortgage options to go

Usually you need to be 12+ months post DMP for mainstream lenders, you've only just paid yours off.

thanks I was hoping a simlar answer from Habito or TSB as decent 10 year term quote.
Since re thinking, overpayments increase, could mean I save upto 5 years reach term.

p.s. habito dmps taken over 6 years could be accepted, mines is 10 years, though only recently cleared.

thanks
