Looking for a better deal on your existing home loan?
Refinance your mortgage
Refinancing your home loan from one bank to another can be tricky. Calculating the cost of refinancing is very important and the thumb rule is that you should refinance only if it is beneficial otherwise you shouldn’t.
You can refinance your mortgage for one or more reasons:
– To secure better interest rate and cash back offer
– To consolidate your high-interest bearing debts
– To borrow funds for renovation or holidays or other plans
– To move from minoo bank or private lender to mainstream bank
– To diversify your portfolio in multiple banks
– To give a fresh start to your mortgage
Best time to refinance:
Ideally, the best time to refinance your mortgage is when:
– Your existing home loan is due for re-fixing and you don’t have to return cash back to your existing bank; or
– Your existing home loan is not due for refixing but you are paying high-interest rate and since the market has changed, you want to take benefit of lower interest rates combined with new cash back from the new bank; or
– Any other reason has motivated you to move across to another bank
Cost of refinancing:
We will help you in calculating the cost of refinancing and doing a cost-benefit analysis of this exercise. Typically, following costs are involved in refinancing a home loan:
– Fixed loan term breakage cost
– Cashback return
– Solicitor cost to move your mortgage
– Registered valuer’s report cost
– Property discharge cost
– Any other cost depending on the type of property or new bank’s requirements
