Common questions
What is the break-even on refinance fees?
It's the number of months of monthly savings needed to recover the upfront switching costs (discharge, settlement, application). After break-even, every dollar of saving is genuine.
Should I refinance just for a 0.25% rate drop?
It depends on the loan size, remaining term, and fees. On a small balance with high fees, a 0.25% drop may take years to break even. On a large balance with fee-waivers, it can pay back in months.
What costs should I include in fees?
Discharge fee from current lender, settlement and application fees from new lender, valuation fees, and any LMI top-up if your LVR exceeds 80%.
