Wondering when to refinance your home loan? Timing matters.

• Fixed rate ending soon? Start exploring options 60 days before expiry to avoid rolling onto a higher variable rate

• Interest rate reductions of 0.5% or more are worth investigating, especially on larger loan amounts

• Need an offset account, redraw facility, or want to access equity? Refinancing can unlock features your current loan doesn't offer

• Consolidating higher-interest debts into your mortgage can improve cashflow and reduce overall interest costs

Refinancing at the right moment could save you thousands. Our Ringwood team can review your current loan and show you what's available.

Thinking about using your home equity to fund renovations in Croydon?

Refinancing to release equity can give you access to the value you've built in your property without selling. But it also means higher borrowing, increased repayments, and costs that need to be factored in.

• Access equity by increasing your loan amount when you refinance

• Most lenders allow borrowing up to 80% of your property's current value

• Lenders reassess your income, expenses, and financial position as new borrowing

• Lower interest rates than personal loans or credit cards

• Renovations may add value to your property

• Refinancing resets your loan term in most cases, extending the time to own your home outright

Call one of our team or book an appointment to run the numbers based on your property and financial situation.

So if you're thinking of starting your own road trip tradition, why not explore an upgrade before setting off on your adventure.

Every year someone works out in November that they need the gear for December, and they're up against all the other business owners who have realised the same thing.

Approval takes as long as it takes. So does the build, the freight, the fit-out and the compliance check. Add them up and September stops looking early.

If Summer's your season, this is the month to sort it. Happy to work out what's available before you start ringing suppliers.
