How do I refinance a home loan?

The first thing to do is to look at your current loan and review the type of loan it is, the interest rate, the features it offers, and any fees you’re paying. Identify the things you would like to improve with a new loan. For example, maybe you want to pair your fixed-rate with an offset account? Or maybe you want to change from a fixed to a variable rate?

Next, do your sums to calculate how much you’ll gain from refinancing. Our refinance calculator can help to determine your monthly savings if you refinanced with Tiimely Home.

Note: Every lender has their own set of fees for refinancing.
Expect to pay ‘closing your old loan fees’ (such as discharge fees, break fees for fixed home loans etc) plus ‘opening your new loan fees’ (government fees, third party fees). Then divide the monthly savings by your total closing costs to see out how many months it would take to break even.

Once you’ve decided if it's worth it to pursue refinancing, shop around for the best rates and features to find a home loan that suits your needs. When you’ve chosen your new lender, you can apply.
