With interest rates in Australia currently sitting at 60 year lows, now is the perfect time for those with a mortgage to review their situation and make sure they are still in the right product for their needs. If you haven’t reviewed your home loan in the last 2 years, it is likely that your interest rate is not as competitive with the lower rates available today.

Home owners who review their mortgage may not only find that there is a better product for their needs, but they may find they are able to save themselves thousands of dollars in mortgage repayments over the life of their loan.

Say for example, you currently have a $300,000, 30-year mortgage with an interest rate of 5%, if you were to review your mortgage and ultimately shave 25 basis points from your interest rate, you could save yourself over $16,000 in interest over the life of your loan.

Before you attempt to refinance your mortgage though, it is important to do your due diligence and research what options are available to you – this includes looking beyond the interest rate alone. Many borrowers will look to refinance with a lender that boasts the cheapest interest rate, but just because they have the cheapest rate doesn’t mean their product is the cheapest loan overall or the most suited to your needs.

Before making any decisions, it is important to investigate the various fees each lender intends to charge. There are many kinds of loan fees borrowers may incur, including application fees, monthly account fees, redraw fees, additional repayments fees, rate lock fees and break fees.

As one of Australia’s most trusted mortgage brokers, Mortgage Choice will be able to tell you what the real cost of a loan will be once all the fees and charges have been taken into account and walk you through your options.
