Still not sure if you should refinance or not?

Refinance is not just about getting a cheaper interest rate, there can be number of other greater objectives that drive a refinance

Listed below are some benefits and considerations to help you decide

  • Lower interest rates: Significant long-term savings by securing a more competitive market rate.
  • Improved monthly cash flow: Lower your periodic repayments to free up capital for other life expenses.
  • Equity release: Access the value built into your property for renovations, debt consolidation, or new investments.
  • Advanced features: Switch to a loan that offers offset accounts, redraw facilities, or split-loan flexibility.
  • Consolidated debt: Roll higher-interest debts like credit cards or car loans into your lower-rate mortgage.
  • Refinancing costs: Consider discharge fees from your current lender and application fees for the new loan.
  • Break costs: Ending a fixed-rate loan early can trigger substantial "break" fees.
  • LMI implications: If your equity has dropped or is under 20%, you might need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance again.
  • Resetting the term: Be careful not to restart a 30-year term if you are already years into your current loan.
  • Credit file impact: A new loan application involves a hard credit check which can impact your score temporarily.
