Frequently asked questions
How often should I refinance? +
Every 2–3 years is a good rule, but we recommend reviewing your loan annually. Market conditions and your personal situation change.
Will refinancing hurt my credit score? +
A single credit enquiry for a home loan has a small, temporary impact. Shopping around with a broker means only one enquiry across multiple lenders.
Can I refinance if I'm on a fixed rate? +
Yes, but you may face break costs. We compare potential savings against those costs to see if it's worthwhile.
How much equity do I need to refinance? +
Most lenders prefer at least 20% equity (80% LVR). Some allow up to 90% LVR but you may pay LMI.
