How does remortgaging to consolidate debt work?

You remortgage for a larger amount than your current balance — the extra funds are used to clear your other debts (credit cards, loans, car finance, etc.). You're effectively converting unsecured debt into secured debt, at a lower interest rate. This reduces your monthly outgoings, though it means the debt is now tied to your home.

Will debt consolidation save me money?

In the short term, almost always — mortgage rates are significantly lower than credit card or personal loan rates. However, because you're spreading the debt over your mortgage term (potentially 20+ years), the total interest paid can be higher than if you'd repaid the original debt faster. We always calculate both the monthly saving AND the total cost over the term so you can make a fully informed decision.

What types of debt can I consolidate?

Most types of unsecured debt can be consolidated: credit cards, personal loans, car finance, overdrafts, store cards, and payday loans. Lenders will assess your debts as part of the application and want to confirm you've addressed the root cause of the debt to avoid it building up again.

Will debt consolidation affect my credit score?

Initially, there may be a small short-term dip from the hard credit search. However, clearing multiple debts often has a positive medium-term effect on your credit score — particularly if you were using a high proportion of available credit. We'll advise on the optimal approach to protect your score.

What are the risks of consolidating debt into my mortgage?

The key risk is that you're converting unsecured debt (where your home isn't at risk) into secured debt (where it is). If you subsequently miss mortgage payments, your home is at greater risk than if the debt had remained unsecured. We take this seriously and will only recommend consolidation where it genuinely makes sense for you.

The Rate Difference

Why the Numbers Often Stack Up

The interest rate on a mortgage is almost always significantly lower than on unsecured consumer credit. This is why rolling debts into a mortgage can dramatically reduce your monthly outgoings.

However, the key question is total cost — not just monthly cost. If you extend the repayment period by years, the total interest paid can exceed what you'd have paid keeping the debt separate. We model both figures for you before advising.

Credit cards: typically 19–25% APR
Personal loans: typically 8–15% APR
Mortgage remortgage: typically 4–6% APR
Net saving depends on term — we calculate it

Important Warning — Please Read

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Consolidating unsecured debts means your home is now at risk if you fail to keep up payments. You should also carefully consider the total amount repayable over the full mortgage term, which may be greater than your current total repayments. We will always show you this comparison before making any recommendation.
