What is a Rate Review?

A rate review is a way to check to make sure your home loan is still working for you. You should review rates regularly to save you thousands of dollars in interest and shorten the length of your home loan term. If your mortgage is no longer the best option for you, It will be better, easier & faster if you negotiate lower interest rates from your current lender,  avoiding discharge fees & loss of interest already paid with no change to your Acct or BSB #, just a lower rate and lower repayments.

In addition, you may be able to refinance with a different lender to find a loan with features that work better for your current situation.
