Unlocking Equity?

Hope you could help me please!?

I have a mortgage which is in my wife's name and we have a secured loan with Welcome Finance which has 62 months to go at £400 per month.

My question is refarding potentially unlocking equity in our house as it'is valued somewhere between £170,000 - £180,000 and the mortgage owing is £157,000 GBP.

Welcome have said an early settlement would be £15,000 GBP.

Also we have small matter of my wife being in a trust deed until August 2013.

I think I know the answer to my own question which is to pay off the trust deed and accept the status quo but just incase I might be missing anything I would appreciate any help/advice given.

Thank you
DelT
