Refinancing your home loan

Most people stay with their bank out of habit rather than because it is the best deal. Rates roll off, cash contribution clawback periods expire, circumstances change, and the loan that suited you three years ago quietly stops suiting you. Refinancing is simply checking whether that has happened.

We look at what you are paying now, what the rest of the market would offer you, and whether it is worth moving once break costs, legal fees and any cashback are counted. Sometimes the answer is to stay put and refix better, and we will tell you that. When it is worth moving, we handle the application and the switch. Our advice costs you nothing, because the lender pays us and you do not.

Our office is at 3/24 Dublin Street in Christchurch and we work with clients right across New Zealand. Come in and sit down with us, or do it entirely by phone and email from wherever you live. The advice and the process are exactly the same.
