Think carefully before securing other debts against your home
You are consolidating your existing financial commitments, you should therefore be aware that whilst this may mean you will make short term savings, over the long term, you may end up paying more. This is because you may be extending the period of the loan. You are also transferring previously unsecured debts to a mortgage which is secured on your home. The reason you want to consolidate your existing debts is to reduce your monthly outgoings.
Please also be made aware Lenders tend not to look favourably on applicants that have a repeated history of debt consolidation so future finance, for this reason, may be hard to obtain.
