It does not know that your income is different, your family has grown, your expenses have increased or another property goal has started taking shape.

It simply continues collecting the repayment.

Our latest article explores six life changes that may signal it is time to review whether your home loan still supports the life you are living today.

A review does not automatically mean refinancing. It may confirm your current loan remains suitable or identify opportunities to improve its structure, features or flexibility.

Read Six life changes your home loan may not have noticed and consider how much has changed since your loan was first arranged.

Think back to when your current home loan was arranged.
Your income, household, expenses and future plans may have looked very different.

Since then:
- careers may have changed,
- families may have grown or become smaller,
- new debts may have appeared,
- financial priorities may have shifted, and
- renovation, investment or moving plans may have emerged.

Your loan may still be operating as expected.

The question is whether it still supports the life you are living today.

We call the gap between your original loan and your current circumstances the “home loan drift”.

A review does not automatically mean refinancing. It may simply help you understand your current loan and whether it still reflects your needs and plans.

Read our latest feature: Your home loan was designed for a version of you that may no longer exist.
Reach out if it prompts questions about your own position.

In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were tied to bed frames with ropes. When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer. Hence the phrase: "Goodnight, sleep tight."
