Unlock the Potential of Your Home with Refinancing
With refinancing, you might:
​
-
Get a lower interest rate and reduce monthly repayments.
-
Use home’s equity to invest in property or renovate your home.
-
Combine high-interest debts (like credit cards or personal loans) into your home loan, reduce overall interest costs and simplify your finances with just one monthly repayment.
What is Refinancing & Why Refinance?
Refinancing is the process of replacing your current home loan with a new one, typically with better terms. It involves taking out a new loan to pay off your existing mortgage and can provide several financial advantages based on your specific needs.
Here’s why refinancing might be the right move for you:
Lower Interest Rates
If interest rates have dropped since you first took out your loan, refinancing could help you secure a lower rate. This means reduced monthly repayments and saving thousands over the life of your loan.
Debt Consolidation
Refinancing gives you the opportunity to combine high-interest debts (like credit cards or personal loans) into your mortgage. By doing this, you can reduce your overall interest costs and simplify your finances with just one monthly payment.
Accessing Equity
If your property has increased in value, refinancing allows you to access your home’s equity. This extra capital can be used to fund renovations, invest in property, or finance other major life expenses.
Improved Loan Features
By refinancing, you can upgrade to a loan with more flexible features, such as an offset account, redraw facility, or more favourable repayment terms that suit your financial situation.
Case Studies
Lower Rates, Big Savings
​
Jenny had a $500,000 home loan at a 4.2% interest rate. After speaking with us, she refinanced her loan to a new rate of 3.5%.
Before Refinancing:
-
Loan amount: $500,000
-
Interest rate: 4.2%
-
Monthly repayments: $2,446
-
Total interest paid over 30 years: $380,696
After Refinancing:
-
Interest rate: 3.5%
-
Monthly repayments: $2,245
-
Total interest paid over 30 years: $308,994
-
Jenny’s Savings:
-
Monthly savings: $201
-
Total savings over the loan term: $71,702
By refinancing, Jenny is now saving $201 per month, and over the life of her loan, she will save over $70,000 in interest payments.
Accessing Equity for Investment
Mark had paid off a substantial portion of his home loan and built up $250,000 in equity. After working with us, he refinanced his home loan to access $150,000 of that equity to purchase an investment property worth $600,000.
-
Mark’s Equity Withdrawal:
-
Property value: $750,000
-
Equity in home: $250,000
-
Equity accessed: $150,000 (used as a deposit for an investment property)
-
Investment property value: $600,000
By refinancing and leveraging his home’s equity, Mark was able to purchase an investment property. Although the rental income from this new property is primarily used to cover the second mortgage, Mark understands that his investment has the potential to increase in value over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there costs associated with refinancing? Yes, refinancing can involve costs such as discharge fees, application fees, and valuation fees. However, these can often be outweighed by the savings you’ll make in the long term.
How do I know if refinancing is right for me? Refinancing may be right for you if interest rates have dropped, your home’s value has increased, or if you're seeking better loan features. It's also an option for debt consolidation or accessing funds for major expenses.
How long does the refinancing process take? The refinancing process can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your financial situation and the lenders involved.
How much equity can I access through refinancing? Typically, you can access up to 80% of your property’s value minus what you owe on your current loan. Exact amounts depend on lender policies and your financial situation.
Can I consolidate other debts into my mortgage? Yes, you can consolidate high-interest debts (like credit cards or personal loans) into your home loan. This can simplify your finances and reduce your overall interest payments.
Can I refinance if I have a fixed-rate mortgage? Yes, but breaking a fixed-rate mortgage before the end of the term could result in break costs. It’s important to calculate whether the potential savings outweigh these costs before deciding to refinance.
Will I need a property valuation to refinance?
 Yes, most lenders will require a new property valuation as part of the refinancing process to determine your property’s current value and how much equity you can access.
Can I switch lenders when refinancing? Yes, you can refinance with your current lender or switch to a new one, depending on which offers the best deal for your financial situation.
How often should I refinance my home loan? There’s no set rule, but it's a good idea to review your home loan every 1-2 years, especially when interest rates drop or your financial situation changes. Regular reviews can help ensure you're getting the best deal available.
