    Remortgaging may well be the better option. As the money can be borrowed over the remaining term of the mortgage. So monthly outgoings will be lower. Depending on the mortgage product overpayments could subsequently be made to clear the debt quicker.

    As a guide. Over a 10 year term at 5% interest around £265 per month.
