There are several reasons why remortgaging makes sense including getting a better deal, raising money to pay off expensive debt, or raising money to pay for a home renovation/extension. If you are on your lenders standard variable rate or your deal is about to expire, then absolutely YES you need to consider the best options going forward. If you have over £5k+ in expensive credit card, loans or car finance debts, then YES, absolutely you should speak with a broker to discuss your options. If you have early repayment charges for leaving your current provider or existing deal, your mortgage broker would need to work out the maths to determine if this is the best thing to do.

A debt consolidation remortgage works by raising additional funds through a new remortgage deal to pay off all of your high-interest unsecured debt (like credit card debt, loans, car finance, etc). This achieves 2 things: It means you only have one monthly payment to worry about (i.e. your mortgage) so it makes your life a little more simplified. But most importantly, because mortgage interest rates are generally much lower than expensive unsecured debt, like your credit card, you can end up reducing your total monthly payments by quite a lot! Let’s face it, credit card debt is expensive (an average of 19.9%!*) so you could benefit from moving it to a lower rate. With a debt consolidation remortgage, you can consolidate your debt into your mortgage so it’s one simple monthly payment. And because mortgage interest rates are much lower, your total monthly outgoings will also be lower. That said, it doesn’t always make sense because it can you mean you pay more in the long-run so it’s essential that you speak with an FCA regulated mortgage broker first to discuss your options.
