Debt Consolidation Mortgage
Looking to bring your existing mortgage and other short term debt together into one manageable loan? We can help.
Simplify Your Finances
Don’t Struggle With Multiple Loan Repayments
A Debt Consolidation Mortgage can be a good option for property owners who are repaying multiple short-term loans as well as their existing mortgage. A Debt
Consolidation Mortgage works by bringing all your loans together under one single loan that is secured against your property.
A Debt Consolidation Mortgage offers a viable means of reducing the monthly payments you are making on any unsecured loans e.g. home improvement loans, personal loans, education loans etc.
Mortgages are amongst the cheapest form of credit available because the debt is secured against your property. For those struggling with multiple monthly high interest payments, a debt consolidation mortgage can reduce your monthly expenses and help you to budget more effectively.
It is important to remember that, because the term of a mortgage loan is much longer than other types of loans (e.g. a personal loan is typically 3-5 years), you could risk paying more over the lifetime of the mortgage.
We can find flexible lenders who, after consolidating your debt into one new mortgage loan, will allow you to pay extra off your mortgage thereby saving you money in the long run.

Rules For Borrowing
How much can I borrow?
The amount you can borrow is based on a number of criteria:
- Employment
- Salary
- Children
- Other loans you may have
- Repayment capacity
You should be in a permanent employment and not be on probation, however exceptions can be made e.g. for doctors who would be on contracts in different hospitals.
The amount you can borrow is 3.5 times your with deductions taken if you have other financial obligations like child support, dependant children, loans, credit card or if you have a partner who is not working.
Example
- Joe has a mortgage of €200,000 with an interest rate of 4%.
- He is paying a home improvement loan that he took out 2 years ago for €30,000 at an interest rate of 10% and he has a personal loan of 25,000 with an interest rate of 8% which he used for his children’s education.
- Joe has the option to switch his mortgage from his existing lender and top it up by 55,000 to cover both his home improvement loan and his personal loan.
- Joe now has a new mortgage valued at €255,000 which he will pay off at a rate of 4% over the agreed term of the mortgage.
- Joe also has the option to overpay his mortgage thereby reducing the duration of the overall debt thus saving on interest.

Good money management across all active current and savings accounts.
No missed direct debits or standing orders.
Controlled use of your credit card and ensure a monthly direct debit for minimum payment is set up.
