Featured insight

Replace multiple repayments with a single, structured plan.

Many people find themselves juggling multiple monthly payments for various debts like credit cards, personal loans, or car financing. This can be stressful and often feels like an uphill battle, especially if those debts carry high interest rates. A debt consolidation remortgage can be a powerful tool to streamline your finances and potentially lower your overall monthly outgoings. But how exactly does it work, and is it the right choice for you? Let's dive in.

What is a Debt Consolidation Remortgage?

In simple terms, a debt consolidation remortgage involves taking out a new mortgage on your home that is larger than your existing one. This extra capital is then used to pay off your other outstanding debts in full. Instead of having multiple creditors with different payment dates and interest rates, you are left with just one monthly payment: your mortgage.

How Does it Work?

1

Assessment

We assess your financial situation, including your current mortgage, debts, and credit history.

2

Valuation

Your home is valued to determine the available equity (market value minus current mortgage).

3

Application

You apply for a new mortgage covering your existing balance plus the debt you wish to consolidate.

4

Repayment

Funds pay off high-interest debts. You're left with one single, potentially lower, monthly payment.

Who is it For?

A debt consolidation remortgage might be a suitable option if you:

  • Are struggling to manage multiple debt repayments each month.
  • Are paying high interest rates on credit cards or personal loans.
  • Have sufficient equity in your home to cover the debts you want to consolidate.
  • Want to simplify your finances into one clear, manageable monthly payment.
  • Can comfortably afford the new, potentially higher, mortgage payment over a longer term.
