Remortgaging and debt consolidation
Remortgaging to consolidate debt means using the equity in your property as security for a mortgage to repay your existing debts.
The process involves obtaining a new mortgage to pay off the current mortgage, as well as other debts you may need to clear. This is known as remortgaging for debt consolidation. A remortgage can be an effective solution for some homeowners who are struggling with debt. More often than not, remortgaging is a case of finding the right deal from the right lender at the right time. If you’re familiar with the marketplace and understand the risks, remortgaging can be an excellent method to pay back your debts. But it's not suitable for every homeowner.
Should I consider remortgaging to consolidate my debts?
When implemented wisely, remortgaging can significantly reduce the monthly repayments required to repay your debts. In some cases, you’ll be financially stronger in the long-term as interest payments on remortgages are typically less than those charged on unsecured loans and credit agreements.
On the other hand, remortgaging does mean you’re likely to pay over a longer period of time. Depending on the agreement, this may result in higher overall payments due to interest. Furthermore, when you agree to a remortgage, your property is pledged as security to the mortgagee. If you fail to pay the mortgage repayments your house could be at risk of being repossessed.

I cannot thank Bennett Jones enough. I had a lot of debt and couldn’t see a way out. It was beginning to impact on my mental health....... I finished the process today and it was approved, and I honestly feel so much relief that I cried down the phone because I am so thankful. Words will never be enough to say how grateful and thankful I am but one thing I know for sure is that I can start my life again without worrying about money and the debt. Thank you so much for everything!
