How does a debt consolidation home loan work?

A consolidation loan folds your credit cards, personal loans and car loans into your mortgage at a much lower rate, so you make one repayment instead of many. The lender pays the old debts out at settlement. We compare 35+ lenders at $0 cost to you.

The saving comes from the rate gap. A card above 20% against a home loan rate is a big difference on the same balance. The catch is the term, so we set the consolidated debt up as a separate split with a shorter one.

What does consolidating $50,000 of debt look like?

The monthly saving is real, but the term matters. Rolling short-term debt into a 30-year mortgage cuts the monthly payment yet can cost far more over time. A shorter split is usually the smarter structure.

How you handle the debtMonthly repaymentTotal interest on the $50,000
Your debts as they are (mixed rates)~$1,500High, and barely reducing
Rolled into a 30-year mortgage~$300~$58,000
A 5-year split at your home loan rate~$965~$8,000

Illustration only, at an example home loan rate, for $50,000 of mixed consumer debt. Your figures depend on your balances, rates, and term. The point is that a lower monthly repayment can hide a much larger total interest bill, which is why we usually set consolidated debt up as a separate split with a shorter term.

Is consolidating into your home loan right for you?

It suits homeowners with enough equity to stay at or below 80% of their property value, a few higher-rate debts, and income that comfortably covers the new repayment. The monthly relief can be significant.

One thing to be clear on: unsecured debts like credit cards become secured against your home. We only recommend it when your income comfortably supports the repayments and the total cost works in your favour.

Which debts can you consolidate?

The aim is to fold the expensive, hard-to-shift debts into your home loan at a lower rate.

Credit cards

Often above 20%. This is where most of the saving is.

Personal loans

Well above home loan rates, and easy to fold in.

Car loans

A common one to include. We keep the term short on purpose.

Buy now pay later

Afterpay and Zip count as debt and eat your budget.

Store and tax debts

Store cards, interest-free purchase plans, and sometimes tax debt.

Several into one

Five due dates and five rates become one simple repayment.

Three ways to consolidate, and which suits you

A personal loan keeps the debt off your mortgage and suits smaller amounts, at a higher rate over a shorter term. A top up or separate split uses your equity for the lowest rate, with a short term to keep the payoff on track. A refinance does both at once, clearing the debts and sharpening your home loan rate.

We compare them on total cost, not just the monthly figure, and pre-assess your file so we only lodge where approval is likely. That keeps needless enquiries off your credit report.

How we structure your consolidation

The structure is where the value is. These are the things we get right so consolidating actually leaves you ahead.

A separate split

Kept on a shorter term, so it is not dragged over 30 years.

Total cost, not monthly

We show you the full interest bill both ways before you decide.

Debts paid out directly

Cleared at settlement by the lender, so nothing is left hanging.

Credit file protected

We only lodge where approval is likely, so no wasted enquiries.

Cards reviewed

Which to close first, so balances do not creep back.

If it will not leave you better off, we say so.

Debt consolidation questions

Honest answers to the questions homeowners ask us about consolidating debt.

What is a debt consolidation home loan?
It is when you roll your other debts, like credit cards, personal loans, car loans, and buy now pay later, into your home loan so you have one repayment at a much lower rate. Instead of juggling several due dates and high rates, you make a single monthly payment. Done well, it eases your cash flow and simplifies your finances.
How much can I save by consolidating?
The saving comes from the rate gap. Moving debt from a credit card at over 20% to a home loan rate can cut the interest on that balance sharply, which lowers your monthly repayments. How much depends on your balances and rates. We model your real numbers so you can see the saving clearly.
Does consolidating actually cost more in the long run?
It can, and this is the trap to avoid. Rolling a short-term debt into a 30-year mortgage lowers the monthly repayment, but stretched over 30 years the total interest can end up far higher, even at a lower rate. The fix is to set the consolidated debt up as a separate split with a shorter term, so you keep the lower rate without dragging the debt out. We show you the total cost, not just the monthly saving.
Can I consolidate buy now pay later like Afterpay and Zip?
Yes. In 2026 lenders treat buy now pay later like any other debt, so Afterpay, Zip, and similar balances can be rolled into your consolidation. Clearing them also tidies up your finances, since these accounts can quietly chip away at your budget between pay days.
Does buy now pay later affect my borrowing power?
Yes. Lenders now count buy now pay later and store card limits against your borrowing capacity, even if the balance is small or you rarely use them. Closing the ones you do not need before you apply is an easy way to lift how much you can borrow. We flag which to close first.
How much equity do I need to consolidate?
You generally need enough equity to keep your home loan at or below 80% of your property value after the debts are added, to avoid LMI. The more equity you have, the more you can fold in. We work out your usable equity and what it will comfortably cover.
Does the lender pay my debts out directly?
Usually, yes. Rather than giving you the cash, the lender pays your credit cards, personal loans, and other debts out directly at settlement. It is cleaner and it reassures the lender the money is doing what it is meant to. We coordinate the payouts so nothing is missed.
How much can I borrow to consolidate?
It comes down to your income, your existing commitments, and your equity. Lenders also test you above the actual rate. Because consolidating clears other repayments, it can actually improve how your application reads. We compare 35+ lenders to find the most room.
Should I use a mortgage broker to consolidate?
It helps. We compare 35+ lenders, structure the debt as a separate split with a shorter term, pre-assess to protect your credit file, coordinate the payouts, and only recommend it when the numbers work. It costs you nothing, since the lender pays us on settlement.
