The most important thing you can do with your home loan is to review it every one to two years, to ensure you still have the absolute best arrangement to meet your current needs.
Lenders are recognising now more than ever that people's needs change over time, and are meeting this need for flexibility with gusto!
And, in order to compete, lenders are offering great interest rates and special offers to win (or keep) your business.
Refinacing your home loan is one of the simplest, yet most effective steps you can take to reduce your expenses, and increase your disposable income. Yet most Australians make the mistake of 'set and forget', and never revisit their home loan, for the entire 25 or 30 year term of the loan!
Wouldn't you rather have extra money in your pocket every week to go to the movies or have a nice dinner out, or save towards a holiday, instead of paying this money to your lender in unnecessary extra interest?
After learning about your individual current needs, an experienced Energise Home Loans mortgage broker can advise you on whether you have the best home loan to meet your needs.
It may be possible to refinance to another lender with our help, to save you thousands of dollars in interest every year.
Or, you may even choose to stay with your current lender, and we could negotiate a better interest rate on your behalf.

Jason and Rachael had taken out a home loan to purchase a new home in 2007. At the time, they had selected a loan with a honeymoon period, to take advantage of a lower introductory rate. This reverted to the standard variable rate charged by their bank after 12 months.
In 2011, Jason and Rachael wondered if they were still getting the most competitive rate and the best loan features to meet their changing needs. The amount owed on their loan in 2011 was $580,000. They were planning to start a family, and Rachael's income would not be coming in for approximately twelve months, and their current loan didn't offer a 'loan repayment holiday' feature.
In meeting with an Energise Home Loans mortgage broker, Jason and Rachael agreed that their best option was to refinance to a different loan, that not only offered a 'loan repayment holiday' feature, but also charged 0.7% less interest than their existing loan.
By making this simple change, Jason and Rachael received the loan flexibility they needed for their current circumstances, and also saved $4,060 interest on their loan every year. This was equivalent to more than $95,200 over the remaining time left on their loan.
To refinance, Jason and Rachael followed this simple process:
Not bad to save $95,200!
