How does a debt consolidation mortgage work?

If you have a large amount of debt over a number of credit commitments you may be wondering if a debt consolidation mortgage would be able to reduce the cost of your credit commitments, by taking out a mortgage on your home or remortgaging to borrow more you might be able to pay off all of your other debt and just need to make payments on your new mortgage, which may be less than what you currently pay.

As well as when looking at debt consolidation mortgages to shop around to try and find the very best plan available to you.

Pros and cons of debt consolidation mortgages

Pros

• You might find that moving all of your debt to one place makes it easier for you to keep up with your repayments, as you only need to make one.

• Mortgages tend to offer lower rates of interest than other types of interest such as personal loans or credit cards.

• Keeping up to date with your mortgage payments may contribute to a better credit score, illustrating that you have taken control of your debt to show that you are a responsible borrower. 

Cons

• Although a mortgage may offer lower interest rates than credit cards or other types of finance, you need to consider that by spreading your payments over a longer period it is possible that you will ultimately repay much more in accumulated interest than by taking out a higher interest solution for a shorter term.

• Failing to keep up with your repayments means that the lender could repossess your home, therefore ensuring that you can make the payments of your mortgage is absolutely vital.

• You may need to have a large amount of equity in your home, depending on how much you need to borrow in order to pay off your other debts.
