What is a debt consolidation mortgage?

It is a mortgage or remortgage used to pay off existing unsecured debts, combining them into one monthly repayment secured against your property.

How does consolidating debts into my mortgage work?

Your new lender advances funds to clear your existing debts and adds the balance to your mortgage. You then make one mortgage payment each month.

What are the risks of a debt consolidation mortgage?

You may pay more interest over the longer term and your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments. Fees and early repayment charges can also apply.

Will I save money by consolidating?

It depends on the rate, term, and fees. Lower monthly payments do not always mean lower overall cost. A broker can compare total costs before you proceed.

Can I consolidate debts with bad credit?

Possibly. Some lenders accept applicants with defaults, CCJs, or missed payments, especially if debts are being cleared. Expect tighter criteria and higher rates.

What loan-to-value (LTV) do I need?

Many lenders prefer the total mortgage to be at or below 85% LTV, though criteria vary. Lower LTVs usually access better rates.

Is a remortgage or a second charge better for consolidation?

If your current rate is high or you can switch without heavy penalties, a remortgage may suit you. If you have a good main rate with early repayment charges, a second charge can avoid disturbing your existing deal.

How long does it take?

A remortgage typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. Timescales depend on lender processing, valuation, and legal work.

Will consolidating affect my credit score?

Clearing multiple debts can help over time if you maintain payments, but new credit checks and a higher balance may have a short-term impact.

What fees should I expect?

Typical costs include lender fees, valuation, legal fees, broker fees, and any early repayment charges on existing products.

FAQ’s

How does remortgaging work?

When you remortgage, you don’t need to move home. Instead, you switch from your existing mortgage to another one. This could be with the same lender or a different one. This typically happens when the existing mortgage ends or when a fixed rate ends, or when circumstances suggest that switching deals may be cheaper.

How long does a remortgage take?

It depends on the individual circumstances. However, it usually takes at least four weeks and anything up to eight weeks. It may be easier if you end up switching deals with the same lender rather than swapping to another one. However, finding the most competitive and relevant remortgage offer for you is most important.

Can I get remortgage with bad credit or poor credit?
