The RBA meets again on 3 November. Whatever it decides, it helps to know what a change in the cash rate could mean for your home loan repayments, and whether your budget has room.

Here is a simple way to check, in five steps: find your current repayment, add 0.25% to your rate, add 0.50%, work out your monthly spare cash, then test how long your buffer would last. The last slide has a worked example on a hypothetical $700,000 loan over 25 years. The rates in it are illustrative only, not current rates.

If your loan is fixed, your rate stays the same until the fixed term ends, but it is still worth knowing what comes next.

Can you refinance if you have never missed a repayment? Sometimes the answer is not yet, even with a clean repayment history.

Paying on time shows how you have handled your loan so far. A lender also checks whether you could afford repayments at a higher rate, often around 3 percentage points above your current rate, and looks at living costs, other debts, credit card limits and how your income is assessed.

If you have been told no, there are a few things that may be worth looking at before you give up: asking your current lender to review your rate or terms, restructuring your loan, or reducing unused card limits and small debts before you apply. Lenders assess these things differently, and approval is always subject to lender criteria.

Rates are rising, but first home buyers still have more support available than they did a year ago.

The Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme lets eligible buyers purchase with a 5% deposit and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Income caps were removed from 1 October 2025, and property price caps still apply. Help to Buy and the First Home Super Saver Scheme are also options, depending on your situation.

In SA, buying new may also mean a First Home Owner Grant of up to $15,000 and stamp duty relief. Eligibility rules apply to both.

A smaller deposit means a bigger loan, so it's worth checking a few numbers before you buy:
- what repayments would look like if rates rise further
- your upfront costs
- the savings buffer you'll have left after settlement

Think a credit card you never use has no effect on your home loan? It might.

Many lenders count the full limit as a monthly repayment, even if you owe nothing. As a simple example, a $20,000 limit assessed at around 3% is about $600 a month, which could reduce what you can borrow by tens of thousands of dollars.

Car loans, personal loans, HELP debt and kids can also reduce your borrowing capacity, and different lenders treat them differently.

In our latest blog we explain how it works and what to check before you apply:

When repayments go up, it's easy to feel like there's nothing you can do. There's usually more room to move than people expect.

A few things worth checking:
- Ask your current lender for a rate review. It's often a simpler conversation than switching.
- Use an offset account if you have one. Money sitting there reduces the interest charged on your loan. Redraw works differently, so it helps to know which one you have.
- Look at your loan structure, such as a fixed and variable split or your loan term. A longer term can lower repayments, but it usually means paying more interest overall.

If things are already feeling tight, talk to your lender early. Lenders have hardship processes, and the free National Debt Helpline is also available.

Mastering the 5 C’s of Credit is your key to loan approval in Australia!
When Australian banks assess your application for a home, investment, or business loan, they look at five core pillars:
1. Character: Your Comprehensive Credit Reporting (CCR) history—paying bills on time builds trust.
2. Capacity: Your ability to handle repayments, verified against the Household Expenditure Measure (HEM).
3. Capital: Your savings, equity, and asset position. A higher deposit lowers your Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR).
4. Collateral: The security value of the property. If your LVR is over 80%, Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) applies.
5. Conditions: The loan purpose, market interest rates, and the current economic landscape.

Rates have gone up, so refinancing to a better deal should be simple. For a lot of people, it isn't.

A new lender assesses you as a new borrower. That means checking you could still manage repayments at your interest rate plus at least 3 percentage points. As rates rise, that test rate rises too, and some people who comfortably pay their current loan no longer pass it.

Other things can get in the way as well: less equity if property values have moved, changes to income or expenses, other debts, and limits on higher debt-to-income lending.

That doesn't always mean you're stuck. Several things can be worth looking at:
- a rate review with your current lender
- how some lenders treat your repayment history
- your loan structure

None of these are guaranteed, and it depends on your situation.

If you've been told refinancing isn't an option, send us a message or visit https://niftylending.com.au/contact-us/ and we can talk through where you stand.

The RBA hands down its next interest rate decision this Tuesday, 29 September.

The cash rate is currently 4.35%, after three rises earlier this year. Most economists expect another 0.25% increase, but a hold is still possible. Nobody knows for certain until Tuesday afternoon.

We've put together in a blog post covering:

• How much a 0.25% rise could add to your monthly repayments
• How much a 0.25% rise could add to your monthly repayments
• What it means if you're on a fixed rate
• How a rate rise can affect how much you're able to borrow
• What's worth checking now, whether rates rise or not

Whatever happens Tuesday, understanding your options puts you in a stronger position.

Read the full breakdown:
