CONSTRUCTION LOANS A

We’ll fight for the best deal for you …

Thinking it’s time to move on?

If you’ve had your current home loan for a number of years, it’s likely your needs have changed, or that your loan may not have flexible features or add-ons that have since become available. It may just simply be that there’s better rate options you can take advantage of. If so, it’s probably time to move on …

Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one, adjusting the rate, term (or both) or the lender. You may wish to refinance to lower your monthly payment, save money on interest over the life of your loan, pay your mortgage off sooner, or draw from your home’s equity if you need cash.

Key areas to think about

Here’s some simple guidance on refinancing

WHAT FITS BEST?

What’s driving the change, and what type of refinancing are you after? There are many different types, so consider each within the context of your unique financial situation.

How we can help

Some of the ways you can leverage our expertise when it comes to refinancing

1

Consolidate debt?

Do you want to consolidate debt?

A refinance can be an opportunity to consolidate debts such as a personal loan, car loan, or credit card into your mortgage, so that it’s easier to manage your finances with a single payment.

Understand charges

Banks thrive on people not fully understanding their fees and charges. We’re here to help give you clarity on the upfront and ongoing costs associated with exiting your current loan and switching to a new one. These may include a settlement fee, loan establishment fee, mortgage registration fee, loan service, and/or exit fees and charges. We’ll help you understand whether there’s any net benefit, and if so how much.

Other lenders

There are so many options out there, you’ll find it hard to compare if you’re going through them on your own. But for us, we live and breathe mortgages every day. It’s our job to be across what’s out there, who has what deals and what features, and even where you’re likely to receive faster approvals. We can then narrow down the options and present you with the benefits and drawbacks of each loan option, so you can find the best fit for your circumstances.
