By tweaking how your loan is structured or combining other debts into your mortgage, you can free up extra cash each month.
Home loan refinancing is the process of replacing your current loan with a new one, often to take advantage of a lower interest rate, more flexible features, or a structure that better suits your circumstances. It may involve:
Clients often ask: “Why should I look into refinancing my house?” The answer depends on your goals.
Some refinance to reduce monthly repayments, others want to pay off their home loan faster, and some use refinancing as a way to tap into equity for renovations or investment opportunities.
It’s important to remember that refinancing is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The right decision depends on your financial situation, future goals, and the costs associated with switching loans.
That’s why working with a broker like us, Your Future Set, can be valuable—we help you weigh up the pros and cons and explore the options available from multiple lenders.
Refinancing can be a smart move, but timing is everything. The right time to refinance depends on your personal circumstances as well as what’s happening in the broader lending market. At Your Future Set, we encourage clients to think about refinancing when one or more of the following situations apply:
If the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has cut rates—or if lenders are offering sharper deals than when you first took out your loan—it may be a good time to compare your options. Even a small change in interest rates can add up to significant savings over the life of a mortgage.
When a fixed-rate term ends, most loans revert to a standard variable rate, which is often higher than the competitive rates available in the market. This is a common time for borrowers to refinance, either to lock in another fixed term or move to a lower variable option.
Major life changes—like a new job, growing family, or business opportunity—can shift your financial priorities. Refinancing can help align your loan structure with your current lifestyle needs, whether that means lowering repayments, accessing equity, or paying down your loan faster.
If your property has grown in value or you’ve paid down a significant portion of your mortgage, your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) improves. This could mean access to more competitive loan products, better rates, or the ability to leverage equity for renovations or a second property.
If you’re juggling multiple debts, refinancing can be considered as a way to consolidate them under your mortgage. While this doesn’t suit everyone, for some it’s a way to reduce the stress of managing multiple repayments.
