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 was in a really dark place and didn’t think that I could go on- I saw Bennett Jones advertisement and decided to give them a call. From that moment on. I was not alone, they supported me from the first day and that dark place gradually became a little brighter. They are always there through out- they don’t abandon you at all. Now I have paid my final instalment and I feel amazing- the clouds are gone and I feel like a different person- the Bennett Jones team are absolutely incredible- a safety blanket that helps. Please never feel that no one can help- call Bennett Jones and your life will change for the better.

Bennett Jones listened to what problems I was having especially when it was to do with work and contract and changing hours they gave me holiday periods and now my IVA has now finished. So, Bennett Jones thank you very much for your kindness and help while I was paying of my debts to creditors.
