As your financial circumstances progress, you might discover that the current loan terms you agreed to as a first-time homebuyer no longer align with your goals. They may even be hindering your journey towards financial freedom. Home loan refinancing presents beneficial options for borrowers aiming for more suitable repayment structures in line with their earnings. Borro’s™ team of proficient refinancing brokers can help you smoothly transition to a new loan tailored to your aspirations, paving the way for a more fulfilling financial future.

Sydney Refinance Services

Given the ever-changing nature of interest rates, we recommend reviewing your loan details on an annual basis. Opting to refinance could open doors to better interest rates, potentially resulting in substantial savings over the life of your loan. Refinancing can also help you consolidate debts such as personal loans, car loans or credit card debt. You can also unlock more equity within your home to fund property value-adding renovations, purchase a new vehicle or even make a deposit toward an investment property.

REFINANCE HOME LOAN SYDNEY: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In case you missed something.

The ACCC Home Loan Price Inquiry report recommended that lenders prompt borrowers to consider refinancing every 3 years. However, at Borro we believe that a reassessment of your existing loan should be carried out once a year for maximum benefit. This doesn’t mean that we recommend refinancing home loans every 12 months. But a reassessment completed by an experienced mortgage broker will tell you if your current home loan is still at a competitive interest rate or whether you would be better off refinancing. Additionally, it’s important to do a home loan reassessment whenever you’re approaching the end of a fixed interest rate period. This is because most lenders will automatically roll a home loan over to their standard variable rate once the fixed rate loan term has concluded (which may be significantly higher than your current low fixed rate home loan, resulting in a significant increase in your monthly mortgage payments).

If you’re considering refinancing your home loan, start by talking to a professional mortgage broker at Borro™. Together we can understand what you hope to achieve from refinancing and answer any questions that you may have. We can then assess your current home loan and compare it with a wide range of products from a diverse panel of 30+ lenders. Once we’ve compared refinance home loan rates and identified which home loan product is most suitable for you, we can begin your refinance application.

The mortgage refinancing process is similar to what you would have experienced when you applied for your original home loan. The new lender will ask for evidence of your current income and living expenses, as well as recent statements from your current mortgage lender. They’ll also arrange for an evaluation of your property to determine how much equity you currently have (which may incur a valuation fee). The good thing about refinancing is that borrowers are often in a stronger financial position than when they were first home buyers. And the stronger your financial position, the easier it is for us to negotiate better loan terms, such as lower interest repayments.

Once the home loan refinance has been approved, the new lender will arrange for your existing home loan to be repaid in full. Once this has been completed, there may be other costs involved like having to pay your previous lender a discharge fee or break costs. You’ll then start making weekly or monthly repayments to the new lender.

Some borrowers hold off on home loan refinancing because they’re happy with their current lender and don’t like the idea of having to switch. The good news is refinancing doesn’t necessarily mean changing lenders. We can approach your existing lender about refinancing your current home loan to a product with a more competitive interest rate or with more suitable loan features. Many lenders will readily allow existing customers to refinance home loans because it’s more economical for them to lower your rate than lose your business altogether.

Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a type of insurance that protects lenders in case a borrower defaults on their loan. It is typically required when a borrower has a deposit of less than 20% of the property’s value.

If your loan to value ratio is still more than 80% (you still owe more than 80% of your mortgage) when you refinance the loan, you will likely still need lender’s mortgage insurance. When you refinance with Borro™, we will work hard to find the optimal solution for your financial situation, including when it comes to lender’s mortgage insurance.

According to a 2020 study by CoreData, almost 1 in 2 homeowners don’t think banks are acting in their best interests. Additionally, over half of those surveyed were sceptical about whether a bank would provide them with unbiased financial advice. Considering this is how so many homeowners feel, it’s easy to see why some may be hesitant to refinance.

Fortunately, the mortgage brokers at Borro™ can help. Our brokers are governed by legislation known as ‘Best Interests Duty’, which means that we are legally required to always act in the best interests of our customers. We can provide you with expert advice that is totally unbiased and tailored to suit your current financial situation. So, when you work with a broker from Borro™, you can trust that you’re getting the best refinance deal to suit your needs.

The experienced team of mortgage brokers at Borro™ can help you successfully restructure your mortgage repayments, ensuring that when you refinance, you’ll always come out in front and achieve great savings. If you’re ready to start the process of finding a better deal, then contact us today on Ph: 1300 1 BORRO™ or email: [email protected].

Fixed rate home loans and variable rate loans each have distinct features suited to different financial needs and goals. A fixed rate home loan locks in your interest rate for a specified period, typically ranging from one to five years. This stability means your repayments remain consistent regardless of changes in the market, providing predictability and ease of budgeting. However, fixed rate loans might have limitations on additional repayments and could come with break fees if you decide to switch loans or pay off your loan early.

On the other hand, variable rate loans are subject to variable interest rates, which can change at any time due to fluctuations in the market. This means your repayment amounts could vary throughout the life of the loan. The flexibility of variable rate loans often includes features like unlimited extra repayments and redraw facilities, which allow you to adapt more freely to changes in your financial circumstances.

Choosing between these types of loans depends on your risk tolerance, financial stability, and whether you prefer certainty in your repayments (fixed rate) or flexibility to benefit from potential decreases in interest rates (variable rate).

Having an offset account linked to your home loan can offer significant benefits. By offsetting your home loan balance with funds in the account, you can reduce the amount of interest you pay, potentially saving money and shortening the loan term. Offset accounts provide flexibility, allowing you to deposit and withdraw funds as needed while still benefiting from interest savings. Additionally, the interest saved through an offset account is not taxable, providing potential tax benefits for homeowners. However, it’s important to consider any associated ongoing fees and compare different loan options to determine if an offset account aligns with your financial goals.
