How does refinancing your home loan work?
Refinancing swaps your current mortgage for a better one. We compare 35+ lenders, find a sharper rate or better features, and handle the switch. Most settle in 2 to 4 weeks, and our service costs you $0.
Here is the catch. Lenders save their best rates for new customers, so your rate quietly drifts above the market even with a perfect record. It is called the loyalty tax, and a review resets you.
A refinance can also consolidate debt, release equity for a renovation, or add an offset account.
How much could you save by refinancing?
A small cut to your rate adds up to serious money over the life of your loan. Here is the total interest you could save over a full 30-year term at different loan sizes and rate cuts.
| Loan size | 0.25% lower | 0.50% lower | 0.75% lower |
|---|---|---|---|
| $400,000 | $23,000 | $46,000 | $68,000 |
| $500,000 | $29,000 | $57,000 | $85,000 |
| $600,000 | $35,000 | $69,000 | $102,000 |
| $750,000 | $43,000 | $86,000 | $128,000 |
| $1,000,000 | $58,000 | $114,000 | $170,000 |
| $1,250,000 | $72,000 | $143,000 | $213,000 |
| $1,500,000 | $86,000 | $172,000 | $256,000 |
Total interest saved over a 30-year term, estimates only, based on a starting rate of 6.00% with both loans on minimum repayments. Your actual saving depends on your rate, balance, term, and repayments. Use our mortgage repayment calculator for your numbers, or book a free health check.
When should you refinance your home loan?
Worth a look if any of these apply:
- Your rate sits 0.25% or more above the market.
- Your fixed period is ending.
- You want to consolidate debt or release equity.
- You have not reviewed your loan in over 12 months.
What if I cannot pass the serviceability test?
Lenders test you above your rate, which leaves some borrowers stuck. Some lenders apply a lower buffer on a straightforward switch. We know which, and we can often get you moving.
Will I pay LMI again?
Only above 80% of your home value. If your home has grown, your LVR may already sit under that. We check first and target lenders and valuations that keep you clear of it.
