debts into your mortgage?
Consolidating some or all of your debts into your mortgage can help reduce your monthly outgoings
There are many reasons why consolidating your debts into your mortgage makes sense with the main advantage to reduce your monthly outgoings. We work with mortgage lenders who specialise in debt consolidation and can ensure you get the most suitable rates and terms.
What is a debt consolidation mortgage?
Debt consolidation mortgages are used to pay off debts like credit cards, overdrafts, payday loans, car loans and hire purchase agreements by using the equity in your home.
How does it work?

There are numerous debts you could look to consolidate into your mortgage
Let’s look at some of the typical debts that can be consolidated into your mortgage:
Credit card debts
Car loans or Hire purchase agreements
Personal loans
Overdrafts
Payday loans
Having high-interest unsecured debts on things like credit cards and loans can start to affect your credit rating negatively if it all builds up too much, as mortgage lenders may start to worry you’re overstretching yourself and it can reduce the mortgage amount you can borrow in the end if your unsecured debts (like credit card and loans) are too high; either as the total amount you owe or the monthly payments you make each month.
IMPORTANT
Consolidating previously unsecured debts onto your property will mean those debts form part of your mortgage which is a secured debt on your home.
Debt consolidation may reduce your monthly payments but also may result in you paying more interest over the longer term. Your mortgage broker will consider carefully for you if this is sensible and advise you accordingly.
Debt consolidation is therefore an area where you should receive specialist advice to make sure you’re not unnecessarily securing previously unsecured debts onto your property.
How much could You borrow?
The amount you could borrow will depend on how much equity you have available, your credit history (if there’s any previous bad credit, a remortgage with bad credit may also be possible), and if you meet a lender’s affordability criteria; so your current income is going to be a significant factor.
Debt consolidation mortgages can let you borrow up to 90% of the value of your property.
It will likely reduce your monthly payments but it may increase the overall interest you pay back.
Consolidation of recent costs incurred for home improvement is available.
How can you save interest?
Putting your bills together could save you £100’s per month and thousands in interest saved in total, especially if you have high-interest paying debts such as credit cards, pay day loans, and some type of personal loan.
However, your mortgage broker will review if this is advisable to consider as by adding the debts to your mortgage you’re spreading the cost of the debt potentially over many years; therefore paying more in interest in the long term.
