There may be some associated costs to refinance your home loan, depending on your current lender and your new lender. Firstly, if you’re on a fixed rate there may be a break fee charged by your existing lender. Secondly, your existing lender may charge you a discharge fee if you refinance your mortgage.
While these costs can be frustrating at the time of refinancing, it’s generally accepted that the initial cost to refinance your mortgage will pay for itself in reduced interest, lower fees or added features, over the life of your loan. By switching to a record-breaking Reduce Home Loan low rate mortgage, you’ll potentially pay off these costs within a year or two thanks to our competitive interest rates.
Another cost to refinance may be the new lender charging an application fee, as well as ongoing fees. Thankfully, Reduce Home Loans offers a range of refinance loan products that do not charge some of these pesky fees.

Refinancing an investment property can sometimes be a little tricker than refinancing an owner-occupier mortgage. This is because lenders perceive property investors as riskier for a number of reasons, such as the reduced pressure to pay off a mortgage for a home you’re not actually living in.
To improve your chances of being approved for a refinancing investment loan, ensure you’ve crossed your t’s and dotted your i’s. Meaning, make sure your financials and credit history are healthy, and that you ideally have an LVR of 80 per cent. Also, ensure you’ve paid off – or are making consistent repayments – on any existing debts, like a credit card. Also consider saving up a sizable rainy-day fund, as this will showcase a level of financial responsibility to the new lender.
If you’re considering refinancing your investment loan, be sure to review your new lender’s eligibility criteria and terms and conditions before applying. Investment loans come with stricter lending criteria, such as meeting cash reserve minimums and higher equity requirements. It may also be a little harder to account for your rental income as part of your income assessment – particularly in a fluctuating housing market. If you’ve been paying interest-only on your loan, some lenders may not approve you for this when you refinance.
If you’re refinancing your investment property to a primary residence, this may save you over the life of your loan. Owner-occupiers are typically offered lower interest rates and greater features on their mortgages, as they’re perceived as a lower risk borrower.
Reduce Home Loans offers a range of refinance investment property loans on both variable and fixed rates. Investors may also be able to snatch up a cash back offer of up to $10,000.
If the old tiles in your bathroom are starting to bug you, or you’ve been dreaming of a new kitchen, consider refinancing for renovations.
One of the perks of refinancing your home loan is that you may be able to free up some equity. If you’ve paid down a considerable amount of equity, by refinancing to access this you can put your new cash directly towards your renovations.
You may also be able to refinance to a home loan with a line of credit. By adding this feature to your home loan, you’ll potentially be able to borrow money from the equity in your home loan. You may have an approved withdrawal limit and will typically pay interest when you’ve spent more than the available equity you’ve built up.
Further, if you’re still unsure about refinancing your home loan for renovations, you may want to instead consider a Reduce Home Loans construction loan. You may be offered a competitive interest rate and gain access to great features as well.
The best time to consider refinancing is when you have assessed that your current home loan provider is charging you a higher than average interest rate, too many fees or does not offer enough features. It may not be worth refinancing if you’re only a few years away from paying off your loan, as your loan term may be extended.

As this process can be complicated and involve excess paperwork, a refinance mortgage broker can help ease the transition. Reduce Home Loans are different to other lenders in that it’s team if accredited Finance Managers can assist in your home loan refinancing comparison journey from the beginning of the application process up to approval.
It’s generally not recommended to refinance a fixed rate loan as you may face break fees from your existing lender by breaking this fixed term. If you’re willing to accept the potential break fees, it is possible to refinance your fixed rate home loan.
A cash out refinance involves refinancing your existing mortgage for a new, larger mortgage with cash paid out to you. This is similar to taking out a personal loan or line of credit. Whether you’re renovating or planning a wedding, you can refinance to boost your savings if your new lender approves you for a larger loan amount.
There are a range of fees you may face when refinancing your loan from your existing lender and your new lender, including:
You may be able to refinance your home loan to release equity you’ve built up over the years.
For example, you have a property worth $500,000, your original loan was for $400,000 and your loan balance is now $250,000.
You may be approved by a new lender to refinance your now $250,000 loan balance. The excess $150,000 you’ve paid off over the years will be released into your account by your existing lender.
