You can also chat to one of our home loans specialists, who would be able to give you a more customized answer by taking into account all your personal circumstances.
As lenders are adjusting rates outside of the reserve bank, it’s a good time to shop around and compare. By getting in touch with one of our home loans specialists, you may be able to find a mortgage where you pay less than what you’re currently paying. Of course, this will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of loan, what interest you’re currently paying, and the features you’re looking for in your loan.
This will depend on the Terms and Conditions of your current loan, so be sure to do your homework on this. There may for example be penalty fees for paying off your current mortgage early. With that said, these may be offset by the savings made by switching. One of our home loans specialists will be able to advise which fees would apply to your situation.
