Consolidate Debt
Your number one choice for consolidating debt in Newcastle
Are you struggling with debt? Do you have multiple loans, and the repayments are getting out of control? Debt consolidation may be an option for you. Debt consolidation is a type of refinancing. When looking to consolidate debt, it is important to review all your current debts – car loans, home loans, personal loans, credit cards and store cards. These debts should be reviewed for their balances, interest rates and any terms and fees. We then work with you to find a lender to consolidate your multiple loans into one payment with a more competitive interest rate.
Debt consolidation can potentially reduce your interest rate from as high as 20% or more on some credit cards to a more competitive home loan rate of about 5.5% therefore helping you save. That’s where we come in. At Watson Mortgages, we help find you a competitive rate in Newcastle, the Central Coast, or the Hunter Region to consolidate your debts.
We help those struggling with debt increase cash flow by reducing their monthly repayments. Our mortgage brokers can find a competitive interest rate for your debt consolidation — with more than 30 lenders to choose from and close partnerships with local financial planners, lawyers, and bankers, we will find a loan to suit your needs.
Contact us for more information or book an appointment with our mortgage brokers in Newcastle. We’ll help you refinance to consolidate debt.

Refinance
Refinance your home to consolidate debt
If you have owned your home for a while, chances are you have built up some equity in your home either through being ahead on repayment or from property value increases. You could potentially be sitting on a sizeable sum of money which you could use as collateral to consolidate your debt.
Benefits of debt consolidation are:
- Reduced your debts into one affordable payment
- Clear debts with excessive interest rates
- Stop creditor and collection agency calls
- Improve you cashflow with a more competitive interest rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much debt can I consolidate?
The amount of debt you can consolidate depends on your circumstance. It depends on the equity in your home, your income, and other commitments. Lenders will generally let you borrow up to 80% of your property’s value, so if your LVR is more than 80% you may not be eligible for debt consolidation.
What loan is right for me?
We work with over 30 lenders with hundreds of products, so we are confident we can find a lender to help you consolidate your debt. We will discuss with you if you would like features such as re-draw, offset, fixed, interest only, principal and interest, or combination of the above. Depending on your answers we will match you with a lender and product that helps you achieve your goals of debt consolidation.
What information will I need to provide?
In preparation for your meeting with our mortgage broker we ask that you have ready the following information.
Identification – You will need to provide 100 points of ID. The most common forms of ID are:
Drivers Licence, Photo Card (NSW), Passport, Medicare, Birth Certificated, Proof of Citizenship (if applicable)

- Self Employed – ATO Notice of Assessment (within the last 18mths)

Liabilities – Any other expenses you may have such as child support.
Anything else you feel may be relevant.
Can I access equity in my home?
When you refinance you can access the equity in our home. This could be used to consolidate debt, repair, or renovate your home, or potentially purchase another property. Refinancing to consolidate debt gives you the ability to access the equity that has built up in your home since purchase.
What is home equity?
Equity is the portion of your property’s value that you own outright. You can calculate your home equity by misusing your mortgage from the value of your home. For example, you house is worth $800,000 – $300,000 (mortgage) = $500,000 equity. The equity in your home increases as the value of you home increases assuming the loan value doesn’t increase.
What will the interest rate be?
Again, it depends on the lender and the type of home loan you go with depending on whether it is fixed, interest only, or principal and interest. With Watson Mortgages, our brokers will find loan options to help you achieve your home ownership goals. We will provide recommendations and advice, highlight the pros and cons of each loan, and guide you towards the option for which suits your circumstances.

Craig Aaltonen26/05/26I've had 5 brokers over the years and there will not be 6 Gary has been hands down the best service by far I have had from any broker.
I made a few late changes from rent to sell throwing a genuine curve ball and not a beat was missed even while i was working and buying interstate with all loans sorted in an amazing time frame.
I generally would not refer services to family fearing a different experience however I have in this instance and they are experiencing the same result after trying times with another broker from lack of detail on the brokers behalf.
Accessible, efficient and genuinely a good human.
Could not recommend more.Read MoreRead Less

Kristi Stevens25/03/26We honestly can’t thank Gary Gilbert from Watson Mortgages enough for everything he did for us.
This was a really stressful time for us—trying to secure finance, purchase a large rural block with extra restrictions, and sell our home privately all at once. On top of that, we’re self-employed, so our situation wasn’t straightforward at all.
But he just took it all in his stride and worked through every obstacle without ever making it feel overwhelming.
One of the biggest things that helped us early on was how Gary sat down and crunched the numbers before we even got into the nitty gritty. That gave us a clear understanding of what we could realistically spend when purchasing, which made a huge difference and gave us confidence moving forward.
Throughout the whole process, he was always there—keeping things moving, answering our questions, and making sure we were never left in the dark. Having him as our single point of contact made everything so much easier and took a lot of the pressure off us.
We also sold our home privately, and looking back, the only thing we would have done differently is pass potential buyers onto Gary. One of the biggest challenges we faced was buyers struggling to get finance—something Gary is clearly very good at navigating.
Gary genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to get the best outcome. He didn’t just do his job—he supported us through a really big and stressful life moment, and for that we’re incredibly grateful.
We couldn’t recommend Gary Gilbert and the team at Watson Mortgages more highly.Read MoreRead Less

We went in to selling our house and buying a new house with anxiety and we had no idea what we were doing or what to expect. It took months of us changing our mind going back and forward looking at so many options that Nestor had prepared for us.
He was so calm and so generous with his time and explaining the options he found for us. We were so clueless and really needed someone to guide us through every step and he was there for us.
I honestly don't think we could have done this without him. We really owe him a debt of gratitude.Read MoreRead Less -
