Still on Your Original Rate? It's Probably Costing You.
Most Australians who refinanced in the last 12 months are saving $300–$700 per month. If your loan is more than 2 years old and you haven't reviewed it, there's a strong chance you're paying more than you need to.

Is This Right For Me?
We work best with clients who…
Loan 2+ years old
Lenders offer their best rates to new customers, not loyal ones. If you haven't reviewed your rate recently, you're likely paying a loyalty tax.
Chasing a lower rate
A 0.5% rate reduction on a $750,000 loan saves approximately $3,200 per year. We compare rates across 50+ lenders to find the genuine market leader.
Want to access equity
Years of payments and rising property values may have built significant equity. Refinancing can release that equity as cash — for renovation, investment, or other goals.
Consolidating debt
Rolling high-interest credit card or personal loan debt into a home loan rate can dramatically reduce your monthly obligations. We model the true cost to ensure it makes financial sense.
Our Process
How We Work Together
01
Loan Health Check
We review your current loan — rate, features, remaining term, and any break costs — to establish what a switch would genuinely save you after all fees and costs are accounted for.
02
Lender Comparison & Recommendation
We compare your situation against products from 50+ lenders, including rates, cashback offers, offset accounts, and redraw facilities. We recommend the option with the best genuine long-term value.
03
Application, Approval & Settlement
We manage the entire refinance application — liaising with both your existing and new lender, coordinating discharge and settlement. Most refinances complete in 4–6 weeks with minimal effort from you.
What We Do
What's Included
Rate Comparison Across 50+ Lenders
We compare variable, fixed, and split rate options across major banks, credit unions, and non-bank lenders — finding the genuine market-leading rate for your loan size, LVR, and loan type.
Cashback Offer Identification
Many lenders offer cashback incentives of $2,000–$6,000 for refinancers. We identify current offers, model whether the cashback genuinely offsets switching costs, and factor this into our recommendation.
Equity Release
If your property has appreciated or your LVR has reduced below 80%, you may be able to access equity as cash. We model the implications for your repayments and advise on whether equity release aligns with your financial goals.
Offset Account Optimisation
Many borrowers are on loans without effective offset accounts. A properly structured offset account can save years off your loan term and tens of thousands in interest — we model the difference for your specific balance.
Debt Consolidation Assessment
Rolling personal loans or credit card debt into a home loan reduces your monthly outgoings, but extends the repayment period significantly. We model both scenarios honestly so you make an informed decision.
Break Cost Analysis
Fixed rate loans often carry break costs when refinancing. We calculate the exact break cost from your lender and compare it against the savings from switching — many clients find the payback period is under 12 months.
Client Case Study
A $750K loan, 3 years old — we saved this client $5,400 per year without extending their loan term.
The Situation
A family in Parramatta had a $750,000 variable rate home loan at 6.89% with a major bank. They hadn't reviewed it since taking it out 3 years ago and assumed loyalty would mean they were on a good rate.
What We Did
A rate health check revealed they were paying 0.72% above what comparable borrowers were being offered by the same lender's competitors. We switched them to a non-bank lender at 6.17% with a full offset account and $3,000 cashback.
The Outcome
Monthly saving: $450. Annual saving: $5,400. Cashback after discharge fee: $2,600. Total first-year benefit: approximately $8,000. They also gained a proper offset account where their savings were previously in a separate account earning lower interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if refinancing is worth it?
The key calculation is: (monthly saving) × (remaining loan months) vs. (switching costs + break costs if fixed). We do this analysis for free in the initial consultation. As a rough guide, if your rate is more than 0.4% above current market rates, refinancing is almost always worthwhile.
What are the costs of refinancing?
Typical costs include a discharge fee from your existing lender ($150–$350), government registration fees ($150–$300), and potentially a new lender application fee (often waived). For variable loans, there are no break costs. We provide a full switching cost breakdown before you proceed.
How long does refinancing take?
Typically 4–6 weeks from application to settlement for a straightforward refinance. Complex situations with multiple properties or unusual income structures may take 6–10 weeks. We manage the entire process and keep you updated throughout.
Will refinancing affect my credit score?
A credit enquiry is made when you apply for a new loan, which has a minor temporary impact on your credit score. This is normal and minimal. Multiple enquiries in a short period have more impact, which is why having a broker do a single well-targeted application is better than applying to multiple lenders yourself.
Can you help if I'm self-employed or have irregular income?
Yes. Self-employed borrowers and those with irregular income have specific lender options — including low-doc and alternative documentation products. We know which lenders have the most favourable policies for these scenarios and can often achieve rates close to standard products.
