Refinancing

Sharper rates, lower repayments.

Most Australian homeowners on a loan over 2 years old are paying too much. We'll compare 40+ lenders and switch you only if the numbers genuinely put you ahead.

We model the full cost of switching — discharge fees, valuation, new lender rebates — and present a clear before/after. Average client saves $4,200+ in the first year.

Common questions

FAQs

How do I know if refinancing is worth it?+

Generally if your current rate is 0.30%+ above the sharpest comparable rate, switching pays off after fees. We do the full math for free before you commit.

How long does refinancing take in Australia?+

Typically 3–4 weeks end to end. The new lender approves and pays out your old lender — you don't need to coordinate anything.

What are the costs of refinancing?+

Discharge fee from your current lender (~$300), valuation (often free), and government title fees (~$200–400). Many lenders offer cashbacks that offset these.

Will refinancing hurt my credit score?+

One credit enquiry has minimal impact. We only apply with a single, well-matched lender — not shotgun multiple applications.

Can I refinance to access equity for renovations?+

Yes. We can restructure your loan with a separate split for renovation funds, kept at low home-loan rates instead of personal loan rates.
