What to expect when refinancing your loan
Fees and charges
It’s important you look at the full picture and weigh up the benefits vs costs, as refinancing can be costly and may include:
- Break costs
- Discharge settlement fee
- Application/Establishment fee
- Property valuation fee
- Settlement fee
- Mortgage registration fee
Unexpected pitfalls
It all looks good at first glance but be careful of the longer-term impacts of refinancing. You could be caught out by having to pay:
- Lenders Mortgage Insurance
- More interest once the great introductory rate ends and the standard variable rate kicks in
- More interest over time if you extend your loan term
Paperwork and prep
Refinancing to another bank is a lengthy process, with long wait times, paperwork and preparation such as:
- Release of current mortgage
- Complete a new application
- Provide ID, payslips, bank statements, rental receipts, rates notices
- Property valuation hassles
- Loan approval and settlement
