Are you familiar with your current interest rate? Many people are unaware that refinancing can provide access to more favourable rates and conditions, potentially saving money on interest and fees. At Ascentro Finance, we help clients understand whether refinancing is the right move, taking the time to compare your current loan against what's available across our panel of lenders so you can make an informed decision.

One of the primary reasons for refinancing is to take advantage of lower interest rates, which can lead to significant cost savings over the life of the loan, and refinancing also allows you to extend or shorten your loan term to better suit your repayment goals. For property loans, refinancing can reveal equity built up in your home, enabling you to fund renovations, upgrades, or other investments, and it can also be an opportunity to switch to a loan with improved features such as offset accounts, redraw facilities, or extra repayment options for greater flexibility.

Before refinancing, it's important to weigh up the costs involved, including exit fees from your current loan, application fees, and legal or valuation fees on the new one, as well as potential break costs if you're refinancing a fixed-rate loan, particularly where rates have dropped since you locked in. Your Loan to Value Ratio may also change with a new loan, which could affect eligibility or require Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
