Is your loan still the right one?

Lenders save their sharpest pricing for new customers. We check what you're paying against the market, ask your lender to match it, and tell you whether moving is worth the paperwork.

Reasons people refinance

A sharper rate

On a large balance, a small margin is real money.

Consolidating debt

Car loans and cards folded in, cheaper monthly but longer overall. We show both sides.

Releasing equity

For a renovation, an investment, or the next deposit.

A better structure

Offset, split, or investment debt separated properly for tax.

Sometimes the answer is: stay put.

If break costs, a fixed period or a small balance make switching pointless, we'll say so. We'd rather keep you twenty years than move you for a headline rate.

Step one: ask your lender

We go to their retentions team with market evidence. It often works, and costs you nothing.

Step two: cost the move

Discharge, registration and new loan fees against the saving over three years.

Step three: decide with numbers

A written comparison, per month and over the life of the loan.

Refinancing questions

How much does refinancing cost?

A discharge fee, mortgage registration, and sometimes application or valuation fees, often a few hundred to around a thousand dollars. Break costs apply inside a fixed term.

How long does it take?

Typically two to four weeks, depending on the lender and how fast the outgoing lender discharges.

Will I need my property valued again?

Usually, though many lenders accept a desktop or automated valuation at lower LVRs, so no inspection.

Is consolidating debt into the mortgage a good idea?

It lowers monthly outgoings but stretches short-term debt over thirty years, costing more overall unless you keep repayments up. We'll show both numbers.
