Home loan refinancing involves replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan, either from your current lender or a new one. The main objective of refinancing could be to secure better interest rates, consolidate your debts, or access the equity in your home for renovations, etc.
Some advantages of refinancing your Home Loan
Lower Monthly Payments
Refinancing to a lower interest rate can potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan through reduced monthly payments.
Access to Equity
If you’ve built up equity in your home, refinancing allows you to unlock this capital for home improvements, debt consolidation, a new car, or even investing in another property.
Switching between fixed and variable
Whether you started on a variable rate or a fixed rate, a home loan health check can help you make an informed decision.
Better Interest Rate
If interest rates have dropped since you took out your original mortgage, refinancing can help you benefit from lower rates, potentially reducing your monthly payments or paying down the debt faster.
Home Loan Features
Refinancing gives you the freedom to choose a loan product that aligns better with your current financial situation and goals.
