What is remortgaging to consolidate debt?

Remortgaging to consolidate debt involves borrowing additional funds against your property and using them to repay existing debts, such as credit cards, loans, or overdrafts. This can reduce the number of monthly payments and, in most cases, lower overall outgoing.

However, it’s not always the right solution. Consolidating debt into a mortgage means spreading repayments over a longer period, which can increase the total amount repaid overall and your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Who can qualify?

Eligibility for debt consolidation remortgaging varies by lender and personal circumstances. You may be suitable if you have equity in your property, your income supports the overall borrowing, and your credit profile meets lender criteria.

Lenders will also look at whether the debts being consolidated are manageable, well documented, and affordable alongside your mortgage. If consolidation isn’t suitable right now, we’ll explain why and discuss alternative options where appropriate.
