Freequently Asked Question

Often-especially if your current rate sits above market or your loan has the wrong features. We model true savings after discharge fees, application costs, government charges, and any fixed-rate break costs, then calculate a breakeven (how many months until you’re ahead). We’ll also compare an internal reprice with your existing lender versus a full refinance, so you only switch if the net benefit is clear.

Usually yes. Valuation drives your LVR, pricing tier, and whether LMI applies. Lenders use different methods-AVM (automated), desktop, kerbside, or full inspection-depending on property type and risk. We target lenders whose valuation approach suits your property (e.g., apartments, acreage, new builds), because a stronger valuation can unlock sharper pricing and avoid unnecessary LMI.

If your LVR ≤ 80%, LMI typically isn’t needed. Above 80% often triggers new LMI (LMI isn’t generally portable between lenders). We’ll check if recent price growth has lifted your value, whether a smaller cash-out keeps LVR ≤ 80%, or if staying put and repricing makes more sense. Where LMI is still required, we’ll compare premiums versus savings to confirm the breakeven.

With complete documents, straightforward refinances commonly settle in 2-4 weeks. Timelines depend on valuation access, lender queues, and how quickly discharge documents are processed by your current bank. We run tasks in parallel (valuation, credit, discharge), keep you updated, and line up settlement so your offsets, direct debits, and repayments move across without gaps.

It depends on your goals and risk tolerance. Fixed provides repayment certainty (handy for tight budgets) but usually limits features (e.g., extra repayments/offsets) and can attract break costs if you exit early. Variable is flexible (offset, unlimited extras, easier switches) but can change with the market. A split loan blends both-we’ll model repayments, total cost, and flexibility under multiple rate scenarios.

Sometimes. We treat cashback as the icing, not the cake short-term cash can be outweighed by a higher ongoing rate or fees. Our comparison includes rate, fees, features (offset/redraw), and the cashback to confirm net benefit over 12–24 months. If a no-cashback lender with a lower rate wins over the term, we’ll recommend that path instead.
