Is Refinancing Worth It? Here’s What to Look At First
The answer depends on more than just your interest rate. Before deciding, it’s worth reviewing:
- Rate gap – is your current rate meaningfully higher than what’s available today?
- Break costs – if you’re on a fixed rate, there may be exit fees to factor in
- Loan features – offset accounts, redraw and repayment flexibility can be worth as much as a rate reduction
- Time remaining – refinancing late in a loan term may not save as much as it seems
- Your goals – lower repayments, accessing equity, debt consolidation and better lender service are all valid reasons
We assess all of these factors upfront and give you a clear view of whether refinancing makes sense – and if so, by how much.
Who Refinancing is Well-Suited For
We work with a wide range of clients considering refinancing, but it tends to add the most value for:
- Homeowners on older fixed or variable rates who haven’t reviewed their loan in 2+ years
- Self-employed borrowers who may now qualify for better products as their business has matured
- Investors looking to restructure lending for tax efficiency or portfolio growth
- Clients consolidating debt and wanting to simplify repayments into one facility
- Anyone whose circumstances have changed – income growth, equity increase, or shifting financial goals
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, that’s exactly the conversation we have at no cost and no obligation.

What to consider before refinancing
- Interest rates aren’t everything.
Features like offset accounts, redraw and repayment flexibility can be equally important. - There may be fees.
Exit fees, break costs and new loan setup fees vary by lender. We outline these upfront. - Your borrowing capacity may have changed.
Income, expenses and lender policies shift over time — we reassess everything for you. - Timing matters.
Refinancing during a fixed-rate term may involve break costs. We help you understand the best time to move.
Your long-term goals should guide the decision.
Saving today is great — but your future plans matter just as much.
