You could borrow money against your property to consolidate your debts
Mortgage debt consolidation acts as a single loan that lets you borrow money against your property and repay debts such as unsecured loans, credit cards and store cards.
You could either be an existing residential mortgage customer who wants to borrow more or, if you have your residential mortgage elsewhere, you could remortgage to us and borrow more.
Things to consider when borrowing on your mortgage to consolidate debts

Understanding the full picture
Watch our quick video to help you to understand the cost of adding your debts on to your mortgage.
We've created this illustrative example to bring to life the cost impact of consolidating debts over a longer term:
Personal loan
- £15,000 @ 7% over 5 years
- Monthly payment = £297
- Total interest = £2,821
Mortgage additional borrowing
- £15,000 @ 4% over 15 years*
- Monthly payment = £111
- Total interest = £4,971
*Calculated at 4% for entire term
Consolidating debt may reduce your outgoings now, however you may pay more interest over your mortgage term.
Cost impact of mortgage additional borrowing vs personal loan:
- Monthly saving of £186 with additional borrowing on the mortgage
- Additional interest of £2,150 paid over the duration of the mortgage
Alternative options
There are other options when it comes to borrowing money. While you could borrow on your mortgage to consolidate your debts, a personal loan may help do the same thing. Weigh up the options and see which fits best.
