Refinancing can help re-shape your financial situation. From consolidating repayments to releasing equity, it can be a game-changer. Equity could be released for cash-out, allowing you to pay for the kid’s education, buy a boat, or undertake that long over-due renovation. Likewise, it could be used to consolidate debts or multiple mortgages to one lender and streamline your financial commitments.
Refinancing your home loan could open up options. Depending on your situation, it could help you save money through a lower interest rate. Refinancing could also help consolidate debt and streamline your finances through moving outstanding personal loans or even another mortgage to one repayment facility. It also could allow for you to access any equity that’s built up in your property; allowing you to pay for renovations or even purchase an investment property.

Here are some FAQs about refinancing a home loan with Pepper Money
There is no set timeframe you need to wait until you can refinance your home loan, however you should consider the following when evaluating if it’s the right time to refinance your loan:
Lots of things can impact your credit score, including when a credit provider obtains a copy of your report during your credit application. Whilst each of the Australian credit reporting bodies calculate credit scores differently, making multiple applications within a short space of time can negatively affect your credit score.

It’s important to understand what factors have impacted your credit score in the past and ensure that you have a plan in-place to rectify these issues. Check out our tips on understanding your credit score.
Compare the terms and conditions of each product – the one you have, compared to the one you’re considering refinancing to. Ensure you understand the fees and charges to both discharge and get a new mortgage, as they differ from lender to lender and product to product. It’s important to also understand the terms and conditions, including any fees, applicable where you’re considering refinancing with your current lender to a different product. Before making any decisions, read the fine print to ensure your refinancing benefit isn’t eaten up by fees.
Refinancing your home loan is the process of getting a new loan to replace an existing mortgage – this could be with the same lender through moving to a new product, or switching to a new mortgage with a different lender. While some may refinance their home loan to take advantage of a lower interest rate, others do so to consolidate their debts. Refinancing could also help you access any equity built up in a property.
