Refinance Your Loan
Things in life change - and that includes interest rates, your circumstances and goals. When they do, it could be time for your home loan to change too. It’s a way you could potentially save money, trim your mortgage and ultimately, get a better deal. You don’t have to go it alone - with a broker doing the legwork with your best interests at the heart of all recommendations, refinancing can be easier than ever.

Why Refinance?

-
Interest rates regularly change. Is yours still competitive? If you have a variable rate, or your fixed-rate is due to expire, you may be able to negotiate a lower rate with your lender, or find one that will.
-
Not all home loans are packaged equal. They offer different features and functionalities. Switching to a loan that allows more regular or extra repayments, an offset account or redraw facility can help you pay less over the life of the loan. Or, if you aren’t using features with your existing loan, switching to a more basic loan could save you in fees.
-
If you have multiple debts, such as a personal loan, car loan or credit card, you may be able to roll them into your home loan. This consolidates your debt to one repayment and could save you in interest. We will consider the whole picture including fees and repayments to determine if debt consolidation is right for you.

Whether you’re planning a renovation, need to upgrade your car or have another project in mind, if you have grown equity in your home, you may be able to refinance to access more money to fund it.

The right time to Refinance.
Finding a lower interest rate isn’t the only reason why you may choose to refinance your home loan. If it has been more than a year since you last compared your home loan, or your circumstances have changed, it could be a good time to check if you would be better off refinancing. Some other reasons you may consider refinancing include:
Fixed-rate expiring
If your fixed-rate term is due to expire
in the upcoming months, it is a good idea
to find out your options. Often, when
a fixed-rate expires, you will be
automatically transferred to the
lender’s variable loan, which may not be
competitive or suit your needs.
Your equity has grown
If you have been making your home loan repayments, it is likely the equity you own of your home has increased. If this is the case, lenders may be willing to offer you a lower interest rate.
Your credit score has improved
If your credit score has changed for the better since you took out your home loan, it is possible you could be eligible for a lower interest rate. It is always worth asking the question.
