Refinancing
We can guide your through the process
We can assess your current loan and compare it across our wide range of lenders. It’s important to note that refinancing your existing home loan may not always be the right answer. And if we believe you’ll be better off staying with your current loan and lender, we’ll tell you that.
On the other hand, if we find that your current loan no longer aligns with your financial situation, your goals, or you’re just paying too much interest on a home loan you’ve had for a while. Then we’ll guide you through the options and process to refinance to a home loan that better suits your current and expected future needs.
Your Village Mortgage Brokers understand the intricacies of home loans and refinancing. We’re committed to helping you make choices that are right for you, avoid potential pitfalls and help you move towards your financial and property goals.
We streamline the process & put you first
How is it possible to ‘tailor’ refinancing solutions?
We understand that everyone is unique. We will take the time to understand your situation, including your financial and property goals.
The refinancing opportunities which we discuss and may recommend, will be those that best meet your specific needs and goals.
So, whether you’re looking to:
- Lower your monthly payments
- Reduce interest costs
- Consolidate your debts or
- Access equity in your home
Your Village Mortgage Brokers has the capability to work with you to find the best ‘tailored’ refinancing solution for you.
Key things for you to consider
Could there be a better home loan for you, particularly if your circumstances have changed?
Interest rates are very important but they’re not the only aspect to consider when finding the right home loan. Your Village Mortgage Brokers will explore all opportunities to secure a lower rate, potentially saving you thousands over the life of your loan, and we’ll find the home loan product and the loan provider that best suits your situation.
Do you know your current interest rate and your minimum repayment amount?
If you proceed with refinancing, there will likely be fees and other costs from the lender. We'll provide you with a comprehensive understanding of those costs so you’re sure the potential savings outweigh any costs.
Does your current home loan give you the flexibility you need right now?
For example, can you make extra repayments if you want to? Do you have the option to have an off-set account? Can you change the frequency of your repayments to weekly or fortnightly?
Your Village Mortgage Brokers can discuss why these considerations are important and make sure your home loan is the one that best suits your current situation, short-term and long-term financial goals and gives you the flexibility you need.
Could accessing some of your home's ‘equity’ help you achieve your goals faster?
If the value of your property has increased in the time since you took out your home loan, you may have ‘equity’ in your home. That means you might be considering using some of that equity for renovations, perhaps an investment property, etc.
These are quite complex considerations. Your Village Mortgage Brokers will work with you to understand your financial goals and whether refinancing might create different options and opportunities for you.
Are your other loans with higher interest rates affecting your lifestyle? e.g. credit cards, personal loans, buy now pay later products, etc.
Your Village Mortgage Brokers can work with you to understand any options to streamline your finances, consolidate your debt and avoid higher interest rates, if that makes sense for your current financial situation and your financial goals.
How might a different home loan help you reach your financial goals sooner?
Refinancing your home loan can bring substantial benefits but it also requires careful consideration. At Your Village Mortgage Brokers, we will act as your Mortgage Mentors. Working with you to make sure you have the best home loan solution to match your unique circumstances. Our mentoring doesn't end when you loan settles either.

The Nitty Gritty
With your Mortgage Strategy in place, our team will coordinate with you to gather all the relevant documents and information we need to help you get a speedy and positive outcome from the lender.

Unconditional approval
This is the green light that the lender has fully approved your loan with no conditions. It's not quite time to pop the champagne though, until settlement occurs.
