Consolidation loan in Euros

I will be moving overseas soon to Euroland. I currently have approx 13K GBP in debt over a variety of credit cards and loans.

This debt is from my student days, I've been paying back 700 GBP per month (way above the min payments) with a view to getting debt free asap!

I have just been offered my dream job overseas in Euroland and I would like to transfer this debt into Euros. I'm concerned that a change in the currency rate could make my debt repayments more expensive.

I would like to keep the debt UK based and start with a fresh credit file in my new country of residence. Does anyone have any experience of getting loans in Euros for consolidation in the UK?

I will maintain dual UK/Euroland residency whilst overseas and still have an address in the UK.

Thanks for the help in advance!
