Factors to Consider before Refinancing

Before you choose to refinance your mortgage rates, you need to have in mind the knowledge of certain factors so that you don’t end up with even more losses. Mentioned below are some of the same factors to consider

  • Your Credit Score:

You must be aware of your credit score as of right now. Lenders who offer mortgage refinancing have raised the bar for loan approvals in recent years. It may come as a surprise to some customers that they are not always eligible for the lowest interest rates, even if they have excellent credit.

  • Refinancing Cost:

There are a few options for borrowers to lower the fees associated with refinancing a mortgage, which typically ranges between 3% to 6% of the total loan amount (or incorporate them into the loan). You can roll the fees into your new loan and raise the principal if you have sufficient equity. 

A "no-cost" refinance is something that certain lenders provide, but it usually involves paying a little bit more on your interest rate to cover the closing fees.

  • Current Interest Rates:

Compare the current interest rates to the rate on your existing mortgage. Refinancing typically makes sense when you can secure a lower interest rate, but it's essential to consider how much lower the rate needs to be to justify the costs of refinancing.

  • Loan Term:

Determine whether you want to shorten or lengthen the term of your loan. Shortening the term can help you pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest in the long run, but it may result in higher monthly payments. Lengthening the term can lower your monthly payments but may increase the total interest paid over time.

  • Break Even Point:

When deciding to refinancing rates mortgage, it's crucial to determine the breakeven point, which is the monthly savings that equals the refinancing fees. Your monthly savings are all yours after that.

A margin exceeding the means of others

Maddi Skeggs

Really enjoyed our experience with Margin Finance. We are first home buyers and Margin were able to answer all of our (sometimes obvious) questions and take the time to explain everything until we full understood it - even if it meant explaining something multiple times. They made us feel secure and safe during the emotional rollercoaster of buying your first house, and I always felt good knowing we had them in our corner. Super personable and easily contactable. Thanks so much to you Damien and especially Andrew for your consistent help and to Jo and Alex also jumping in to support.

Theresa Meach

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Margin Finance especially Andrew, Alex and Damian. From the very first consultation, the team was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. They tailored their advice to my situation and provided me with a personalised plan. Andrew and Alex were always available to answer my questions even on their day off!! I would highly recommend Margin Finance to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable team! Thank you again for helping me secure my first home.

Sam & Kelly Walker

Couldn't be happier with our experience. Offering advice and guidance from start to end. Understanding of the high anxiety and willing to take the time to answer our questions and reassure us every step of the way. We started by going to a webinar hosted by Damian at Margin, thinking we had no path to take for home ownership, to being coached on steps we need to take, to purchasing our first property. Damian and his team went above and beyond to help guide us, highly recommend their services.

Fusae Nojima

Damian is very knowledgeable and looks after his clients very well. He also has capable staff to help with the process. Very happy with the service I received from Margin Finance (and I didn’t pay anything). Highly highly recommend!

Chynthia & Drazen Kovac

Our income situation was a bit unique but the excellent communication and knowledge from Damian and Andrew really helped us understand each part of the process and achieve our goals.

Angela Tieman

We had a fantastic experience with Damian and the team at Margin Finance in Moonee Ponds. Our mortgage situation was not straightforward, but their professionalism, expertise, and positive mindset made all the difference. Thanks to their support, we were able to secure our mortgage and purchase our property in August. We highly recommend Margin Finance for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated team!
