What is refinancing?
If you are finding your current home loan isn't suitable for a number of reasons, from fixed term loan is ending to wanting to reduce your home loan repayments, you can refinance and acquire a home loan suitable for your situation.
Reasons to refinance your existing home loan
- To reduce your home loan repayments.
- To consolidate your debts and manage your finances easier.
- Your fixed term loan is ending.
- You're planning to renovate your home.
- Your circumstances have changed and your existing loan may not be suitable anymore.
Advantages of refinancing my home loan
Small differences add up:
Refinancing to a home loan with an interest rate that is a quarter of a percent lower might not seem like big deal, but 0.25% can mean a big reduction in your interest repayments over the life of the loan.
Switching to a home loan that allows you to make unlimited extra repayments without any break costs or fees could help you pay off your loan sooner.
Having your home loan and bank account with the same financial institution could save you money every month with fee waivers and discounts on products and services.
Consolidating your loans could make them easier to manage and pay off.
