    You need to work that out for yourself. Normally people are not encouraged to turn unsecured debt into secured debt - as it puts your house at risk. Generally for what is a relatively low level of debt the best way would be to go for a 0% balance transfer card and pay it off as soon as possible.

    Don't just get any 0% balance transfer card, look for a card that also has 0% fee
  • I don't see any mortgage lender agreeing to lend such a small sum on a mortgage - the actual cost to them setting it up is not worth their while.

    Could you get a 0% card and do a balance transfer


    £3.4k isn't that big a debt (if that's all you owe of course)
