Review Your Existing Loan

Your Current Home Loan Should Still Be Working for You

A home loan that was suitable several years ago may not remain the right fit today. Interest rates, lender policies, income, property value and personal financial goals can all change over time.

A structured refinance and rate review can help you compare your existing loan against potentially suitable alternatives. This includes reviewing the interest rate, ongoing fees, loan term, repayment type, offset account, redraw facility and flexibility of the overall structure.

A lower advertised interest rate does not automatically mean a better financial outcome. Refinancing should account for switching costs, product fees, loan term, features and the total cost of the new facility.

Reasons to Refinance

Refinancing Options Designed Around Your Financial Goals

The right refinancing strategy depends on what you want to achieve, your existing loan and your current financial position.

Seek a Lower Interest Rate

Compare your current interest rate with potentially suitable products to determine whether refinancing may reduce interest costs or repayments.

Improve Loan Features

Explore options with features such as offset accounts, redraw, flexible repayments or a structure better suited to your lifestyle.

Consolidate Eligible Debts

Subject to assessment, eligible personal debts may be combined into one lending structure to simplify repayments and cash-flow management.

Access Property Equity

Explore whether available property equity could support approved purposes such as renovation, investment or other financial goals.

Restructure Your Loan

Review fixed, variable or split-rate options and consider whether your current repayment structure remains appropriate.

Support Future Property Plans

A refinance review may help align your lending structure with plans to purchase another home or expand an investment portfolio.

Refinance FAQs

Frequently Asked Refinancing Questions

General answers to common questions from homeowners considering a mortgage refinance or rate review.

What does refinancing a home loan mean?

Refinancing generally involves replacing your existing home loan with a new loan, either from your current lender or another lender. The new loan may have a different interest rate, repayment structure, loan term or product features.

How do I know whether refinancing is worthwhile?

Refinancing may be worthwhile when the expected benefits outweigh the costs of switching. A review should consider the interest rate, fees, repayment amount, loan term, product features and any discharge or application expenses.

Can refinancing reduce my home loan repayments?

A lower interest rate or a different loan structure may reduce scheduled repayments. However, extending the loan term can increase the total interest paid over time, even when regular repayments are lower.

Can I refinance a fixed-rate home loan?

It may be possible to refinance a fixed-rate loan, but the current lender may charge a break cost. The amount can depend on the remaining fixed period, loan balance and changes in wholesale interest rates.

Can I consolidate debts when refinancing?

Some eligible debts may be consolidated into a home loan, subject to lender approval and responsible lending requirements. Although the home loan rate may be lower, spreading short-term debt across a longer term can increase the total interest paid.

Can I access equity through refinancing?

You may be able to access usable equity if the property value and lender assessment support the requested amount. Approval will also depend on income, expenses, liabilities, credit history and the intended use of funds.

How much equity do I have in my property?

Property equity is generally the difference between the property value and the outstanding home loan balance. Usable equity may be lower because lenders usually apply loan-to-value ratio limits and other assessment criteria.

Will refinancing affect my credit score?

A formal credit application can appear on your credit file. It is generally helpful to review potential options and eligibility before making multiple applications with different lenders.

How long does refinancing usually take?

The timeframe depends on the lender, application complexity, valuation, document quality, discharge process and current lender workloads. Complete documentation can help reduce avoidable delays.

Do I need to refinance to get a better rate?

Not always. In some situations, your current lender may offer a rate adjustment or a different product. A broader review can help compare staying with the current lender against refinancing elsewhere.
