Warning For Debt Consolidation

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

By consolidating your debts into a mortgage, you may be required to pay more over the entire term than you would with your existing debt.

Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation is when you move some or all of your existing debt (usually unsecured) from multiple accounts (such as credit cards and loans) to just one account. To do this you’d pay off – and potentially close – your old accounts with credit from the new one. Your debt won’t disappear, but it will all be in one place. Your new debt is usually secured against your property by remortgaging your existing property or getting further advance on it or having a second charge on your property.

Remortgaging

Debt consolidation mortgages are a type of remortgage that lets you use the equity in your property to pay off any debts you owe elsewhere and then move them onto a single mortgage deal. To put it another way, it is debt consolidation with Home EquitSo in some cases, debt consolidation mortgages can simplify your repayments and reduce your amount of debt overall. It’s not for everyone.

Should I get a debt consolidation mortgage?

This is a personal choice however there are pros and cons you need to consider before you make a decision;

Further Advance

A further advance is additional borrowing from your current lender and allows you to borrow more money against your home. The interest rate charged on a further advance is usually different to your original mortgage loan.

A further advance can be a useful option for a borrower if they do not wish to remortgage or switch to another lender and the rates offered for a further advance may be more competitive than other types of loans such as credit cards. If you are currently tied into a product then a further advance can allow you to borrow more without facing hefty early repayment charges.

There may be several reasons why a borrower might consider needing a further advance, such as raising a deposit for a second property or home improvements.
