Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to be in a DMP before I can get a mortgage?
There is no fixed time frame, as it depends on the individual lender’s criteria. Some specialist lenders may consider an application after a certain period of successful payments on your DMP, while others may require the plan to be completed. Lenders will assess your overall financial situation, including your payment history, the amount of debt you have, and your deposit. This varies by lender. Some may require a set period of regular payments; others may require the DMP to be completed, or a partial history of successful repayments.
Will being in a DMP affect my mortgage interest rate?
Yes, it’s likely that a mortgage taken out while you are in a DMP will have a higher interest rate than a standard high-street mortgage, but exact rates depend on lender and your credit. This is because specialist lenders take on a greater risk. However, as your financial situation improves and the DMP is completed, you may be able to remortgage to a more competitive rate in the future.
Can a DMP mortgage help me consolidate my debts?
A debt consolidation mortgage is a type of remortgage that allows you to pay off your existing debts and combine them into one new mortgage. It can be a way to clear your unsecured debts, but it is a complex process. A mortgage broker can help you assess whether this is a suitable option and find a lender who will consider your circumstances.
Should I continue with my DMP or try to get a mortgage first?
It is often recommended to continue with your DMP, as it shows lenders a responsible and disciplined approach to managing your debts. Abandoning your DMP could negatively impact your credit file and make it much more difficult to get a mortgage. A specialist broker can advise on the best course of action for your unique situation.
Will a DMP mortgage affect my home's value?
When a DMP might not be a suitable option for you?
This option will not be suitable for everyone. For example, if your DMP arrears are high, or your overall borrowing is large relative to property equity, or your income is low or unstable, you may not qualify. Each lender sets different criteria; you will need a full financial assessment before proceeding
