HOME LOAN
Refinancing your home loan: why and when
Many Australians pay a “loyalty tax”, higher rates than new borrowers. Refinancing helps you secure a better deal and improve your finances.
Lower rate: Even a small rate cut can save thousands.
Access equity: Use built-up equity for renovations, investments, or debt consolidation.
Consolidate debt: Merge high-interest debts into one lower-rate loan.
Change features: Switch between fixed and variable, or add options like an offset account.
Review your loan every 18 months or when a fixed term ends. A HeyNest broker can assess your options and find the right time to refinance.
