Common questions for those thinking of refinancing

Can I get a mortgage with lower repayments than what I'm paying now?

It’s always worth checking to see if your current loan still suits your needs — and we’re a great place to start.

Whether you can lower your repayments will depend on a few factors, including:

  • The interest rate you’re currently paying.

  • The type of loan you have (such as fixed, variable, interest-only, or line of credit).

  • The features you want in your loan going forward.

We can quickly review your situation and explain your options, helping you decide if refinancing or switching loans could save you money.

This is one of the reasons some people refinance. The advantage is that you pay a much lower interest rate on a mortgage than for most other forms of debt (such as credit cards, overdraft facilities, or personal loans). Providing you have sufficient equity in your property, you may be able to consolidate all your debt on a home loan. If you take this option, though, it’s important to make sure you maintain your repayments of the debt that you consolidate at their current level, or you could easily end up paying more over a longer period of time.

Most lenders offer flexible repayment options to suit your pay cycle. If you aim for weekly or fortnightly repayments instead of monthly, you’ll make more payments in a year, which could potentially shave dollars and time off your loan.

Depending on your loan, penalty fees could apply if you’re paying off your current mortgage early. But these may be offset by repayment savings when you switch home loans. We’ll walk you through any fees that could apply in your circumstances, or use our Mortgage Switching Calculator to get an estimate.
