What is home loan refinancing, and how does it work?
Home loan refinancing is the process of replacing your current mortgage with a new loan—either with your existing lender or a different lender—to secure a better interest rate, lower repayments, or improved loan features.
- At Kelly Brothers Finance, we guide North Brisbane homeowners through the refinancing process by:
- Reviewing your current loan to identify cost-saving opportunities
- Comparing competitive home loan options from leading Australian lenders
- Managing the paperwork and application to streamline the transition
Refinancing can help you save money, access home equity, or consolidate debt. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, our expert mortgage brokers can assess your situation and provide tailored advice.
Why should I refinance my home loan?
There are several reasons why refinancing could benefit you, including:
- Lower interest rates – Reduce your monthly repayments and overall loan costs
- Better loan features – Access flexible repayment options, offset accounts, or redraw facilities
- Debt consolidation – Combine multiple debts into a single, lower-interest mortgage
- Access home equity – Unlock equity to fund renovations, investments, or personal goals
- Change loan type – Switch from a variable to a fixed rate (or vice versa) for more control
At Kelly Brothers Finance, we help homeowners in North Brisbane assess their refinancing options and find a better mortgage deal that suits their financial goals.
How do I refinance my home loan in North Brisbane?
Refinancing involves these key steps:
- Assess your current loan – Review your interest rate, fees, and features
- Compare new loan options – Check competitive offers from various lenders
- Apply for refinancing – Submit documents like income statements and property details
- Property valuation – The lender may assess your home’s value to determine borrowing power
- Approval & settlement – Once approved, your new lender pays off your existing loan
Kelly Brothers Finance takes care of the entire process, ensuring you secure a better loan with minimal hassle. Book a free consultation today to explore your options.
Are there costs involved in refinancing my home loan?
Yes, refinancing can involve some costs, including:
- Discharge fees ($100–$400) to exit your current loan
- Application fees ($0–$600) depending on the new lender
- Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if borrowing over 80% of your property value
- Government fees for mortgage registration and transfer
However, the long-term savings from lower interest rates and better loan features can outweigh these costs. At Kelly Brothers Finance, we provide a cost-benefit analysis to ensure refinancing is the right move for you.
