Advice on remortgaging in 2016 to pay off high interest rate debt.
With mortgage rates set at historic lows, it’s possible to remortgage to consolidate outstanding debt to lower total monthly outgoings.
If you are on a higher rate deal fixed 2 to 5 years ago, it might even be possible borrow more money and still keep your repayments at current levels.
However debt consolidation is not always the most suitable option, consolidating debts must be carefully considered.
It will usually mean more interest over a longer repayment term, and there may also be early repayment penalties on your current mortgage. You should therefore think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
There are other ways to manage debt such as free debt advice charities, you can find out more by contacting the Money Advice Service, these services may be more suitable for you.
