Wanting to save on your Home or Investment Loan?

Mortgage refinancing is your gateway to a more manageable financial future. It involves replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan, either from your current lender or a new one. The primary objective of refinancing is to secure lower interest rates, reduce your monthly payments, modify loan terms, or access the equity in your home. The refinancing process can be intricate, but at Total Loans Mortgage Brokers in Port Hedland, we're here to provide invaluable support every step of the way.

Why Refinance Your Home Loan?

Refinancing your home loan can deliver numerous advantages:

  • Lower Monthly Payments: Refinancing to a lower interest rate can potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan through reduced monthly payments.
  • Access to Equity: If you've built up equity in your home, refinancing allows you to unlock this capital for home improvements, debt consolidation, or even investing in another property.
  • Better Interest Rate: If interest rates have dropped since you took out your original mortgage, refinancing can help you benefit from lower rates, potentially reducing your monthly payments or paying down the debt faster.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Refinancing gives you the freedom to choose a loan product that aligns better with your current financial situation and goals.

Is Refinancing Right for You?

While refinancing offers numerous advantages, it's essential to understand potential drawbacks. Benefits include lower interest rates, improved loan terms, and access to cash. Disadvantages can encompass upfront fees, closing costs, potential credit score impact, and extended loan terms that might lead to higher overall interest payments. At Total Loans Mortgage Brokers in Port Hedland, we can help you evaluate the pros and cons of refinancing to determine if it aligns with your goals.

Common Misconceptions About Refinancing

Misconceptions often revolve around believing you must refinance with your current lender or assuming only individuals with impeccable credit can refinance. We can dispel these myths, provide clarity on the refinancing process and answer all your questions.

Highly recommend Russell to anyone looking to get a loan. He makes the process easy and stress free, always keeps you notified and up to date and I haven't had a problem at all with the two loans I've gotten through him over the last few years. Also he has chocolate.

How much can I borrow?

Your borrowing capacity can vary with each Lender. All lenders have their individual serviceability calculators to assess how much you can borrow with them. At Total Loans we have access to most lenders calculators and can provide you with information on how much you can borrow with each lender. Some of the factors that lenders consider when assessing how much you can borrow include length of employment, deposit, guarantors, suitable security, previous repayment history, current debts ie personal loans, credit card/store cards.

Why don't I just go directly to my bank?

Mortgage brokers are often able to offer better rates by negotiating with multiple lenders, while banks only present their own offers. We provide a detailed comparison report so that you can compare the features, rates and fees of the products of various lenders, without going to each bank directly, saving you time and money. We also have access to promotions through the broker network, such as discounted, application fees and interest rates.

Can you help me if I have a poor credit file?

There are lenders who are willing to consider applicants with defaults or poor credit conduct. However, this greatly depends on the details listed on your credit file and the extent of your credit score. Before recommending a lender, it is advisable we check your credit report.
