Frequently Asked Questions About Refinancing!
-
Is it expensive to refinance a mortgage?
Refinancing a mortgage can be costly, however, these costs can be recouped over time if you're refinancing to a loan with a lower interest rate.
The discharge fee will generally cost between $100-$400. The setup fees for the new loan can cost between $300-$1,000. A standard valuation fee alone can be between $200-$500.
-
How much equity do I have in my home?
The simple way to know how much equity you have in your home is by calculating the difference between the current property's value and the total remaining balance to pay off your mortgage.
- Do I need a deposit to refinance my home loan?
You generally do not need to pay a deposit when refinancing your home loan, but there are a range of fees you'll probably have to pay.
You may also have to pay for LMI if the value of your equity in the property (your initial deposit, plus the sum of your principal repayments so far and any capital gains) is less than 20% of the property's value or if you're refinancing the loan to over 80% of the property's value.

Are cashback incentives worth it when you refinance?
I'm sure we have all heard of the cashback offers that banks offer to refinance, but the question most of us have is "Are they worth it?".
We explore this answer in our short video below!
In short, you need to consider whether staying on your current loan is cheaper in the long term instead of being lured by the short-term incentive of a cashback. If you would like some help with this decision, reach out to Troy Hose.
