Why refinance your mortgage now?
Refinancing (switching your current home loan to a new lender) is a powerful way for Australian homeowners to strengthen their financial position. It’s not only about chasing a lower rate but ensuring your loan suits your current lifestyle and long-term goals. Top reasons to refinance include:
Lower interest rates: Even a small reduction can save thousands over the life of your loan.
Accessing equity: Unlock the value in your home for renovations, investments, or major expenses.
Debt consolidation: Combine higher-interest debts, like credit cards, into one lower-rate loan.
Better features: Move to a lender offering key features such as offset accounts or flexible repayments.
Improved service: If your current bank isn’t meeting expectations, switching could mean better support.
With Australia’s market constantly changing, your original loan may no longer be competitive. A HeyNest-connected broker continuously reviews available offers, helping turn your mortgage into a tool for long-term savings and growth.

The hidden costs of mortgage refinance
While refinancing can deliver major savings, it’s vital to understand the potential costs involved. The goal is to ensure the financial benefits far outweigh any fees, and expert unbiased advice is key to getting this balance right. Common costs to consider:
Exit or discharge fees: Charged by your current lender when closing the loan.
Application or establishment fees: Fees from your new lender for setting up the loan.
Government registration fees: State-based charges for recording the new mortgage.
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI): Required if borrowing over 80% of your property’s value.
Valuation fees: Costs for your new lender’s property valuation.
A HeyNest broker performs a full refinance assessment, outlining all costs versus expected savings, so you can confirm it’s a financially smart move before switching.
