Do I need a bigger deposit to move home with bad credit?

Often, yes. Many lenders ask for a minimum 5% deposit, but if you have poor credit, you may need to provide more (10-25%). Using the equity from your current property can sometimes help increase your deposit and improve your chances of being approved.
