Review your current home loan and compare refinancing options that may better suit your financial goals. CBM Mortgages can assess interest rates, fees, loan features and potential savings, while also considering any switching or break costs.
Refinancing may reduce your repayments if you qualify for a lower interest rate or restructure the loan. Extending the loan term can also reduce repayments, but it may increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
A lower interest rate may reduce your repayments and total interest costs, but the rate should be considered alongside fees, loan features and refinancing costs. We compare the available options to assess the potential benefit after costs.
Refinancing may allow you to consolidate eligible debts into your home loan, which can simplify repayments and may reduce the interest rate applying to those debts. However, extending short-term debt over a longer home-loan term can increase the total interest paid, so the costs and repayment strategy should be considered carefully.
Refinancing may allow you to choose a shorter loan term and repay the home loan sooner. This may reduce the total interest paid, but it can also increase your regular repayments, so affordability should be assessed carefully.
Refinancing may allow you to borrow to access equity for purposes such as renovations, investment or other major expenses. Increasing the loan balance will increase your debt and may affect repayments and total interest costs, so affordability and the purpose of the funds should be reviewed carefully.
Refinancing may allow you to move from a fixed rate to a variable rate, or from a variable rate to a fixed rate. Before switching, compare the available rates, fees and loan features, and check whether break costs apply to your current fixed-rate loan.
CBM Mortgages helps Sydney homeowners review their existing home loans and compare refinancing options. With more than 20 years of lending experience, Craig McDonald and the team can assess rates, fees, loan features, switching costs and potential savings, then support the application through to settlement.
Review why you are considering refinancing, such as reducing loan costs, changing loan features, removing a co-borrower or accessing available equity. Any potential benefit should be compared with switching fees, break costs and the longer-term effect on your repayments.
Compare interest rates, fees, loan features and lending requirements across suitable refinancing options. The lowest advertised rate may not provide the best overall outcome once switching costs, break costs and useful features are considered.
Check your recent home loan repayments and obtain an up-to-date loan statement. Lenders may review your repayment history, current balance and conduct on the existing loan when assessing a refinancing application.
Once you choose a refinancing option, we help prepare and submit the application with the required supporting documents. The lender will assess your income, expenses, debts, credit history and property before deciding whether to approve the new loan.
After the new loan receives final approval, you review and sign the loan documents. The incoming lender and your existing lender then coordinate the refinance settlement, which pays out the old home loan and establishes the new one.
CBM Mortgages can review your current home loan, explain the potential costs and benefits of refinancing, and compare suitable options from a range of lenders. If you decide to proceed, we provide a document checklist and help prepare the application.
We then coordinate with the lender, assist with requests for further information and keep you informed through to settlement. Approval and settlement timeframes vary depending on the lender, application and property.
Discuss your current home loan, refinancing goals and potential switching costs with CBM Mortgages.
With more than 20 years of lending experience, Craig McDonald and the CBM Mortgages team can help you understand the figures, compare refinancing options and assess the potential benefit after costs.

Whether you want to review repayments, shorten the loan term, consolidate eligible debts or access available equity, we can compare refinancing options and explain the costs, features and lending requirements that may apply.
Refinancing may help you change your loan structure, review repayments or access useful features, but the potential benefits should be weighed against fees, break costs and the longer-term effect on your loan.
CBM Mortgages can review the figures and explain the available options so you can make an informed decision.
A refinancing lender will assess your financial position, current loan and property before deciding whether to approve the application. Understanding these factors can help you prepare and compare suitable home loan options.
The lender may obtain a current property valuation and compare it with your existing loan balance. This determines your available equity and loan-to-value ratio, which can affect lender options, pricing and whether Lenders Mortgage Insurance may apply.
The lender will review your income, living expenses, existing debts, credit limits and repayment history. These factors help determine whether you can afford the proposed refinance under the lender’s assessment criteria.
Compare the interest rate and comparison rate, along with discharge fees, application costs, break costs and useful loan features. Reviewing the total costs and potential savings can provide a clearer picture than focusing on the advertised rate alone.
CBM Mortgages can review your current loan, estimate the potential savings after refinancing costs and explain the available options. You can then decide whether refinancing is likely to support your financial goals.
Refinancing replaces your existing home loan with a new loan. Homeowners may refinance to review their interest rate, change loan features, restructure repayments, consolidate eligible debts or access available equity. The potential benefits should be compared with fees and charges, break costs and the longer-term effect on the loan.
Refinancing your home loan maybe worth considering if you want to review your interest rate, repayments, loan features or structure. Compare the potential savings with any discharge fees, application costs, break costs and the longer-term effect of the new loan term. CBM Mortgages can review these figures, but whether refinancing is worthwhile depends on your circumstances.
Refinancing costs may include your existing lender’s discharge fee, government registration fees, application or valuation fees for the new loan and break costs if you leave a fixed-rate loan early. Any cashback or potential savings should be compared with these costs and the longer-term effect of the new loan.
Refinancing timeframes vary between lenders and depend on the application, supporting documents, property assessment and how quickly the existing lender prepares for settlement. Providing complete information early can help reduce avoidable delays, but approval and settlement dates cannot be guaranteed. The loan refinancing in Sydney process can be done in as little as two weeks if all the correct documents are provided from the start.
Refinancing may still be possible if you have credit issues or a low credit score, but this can affect the lenders, interest rates, fees and loan terms available. A lender will also consider your recent repayment history, income, expenses, debts, available equity and the reasons for any adverse credit. Reviewing your credit report before applying can help identify issues that may need attention. A loan refinance Sydney broker will guide you each step of the way.
Requirements vary between lenders, but you may need identification, recent payslips or other income evidence, bank statements, details of living expenses and debts, your current home loan statement and evidence of the property’s value. Self-employed applicants may also need tax returns and financial statements. The lender may request further documents during its assessment.
Yes, you may be able to refinance a fixed-rate home loan, but your existing lender may charge break costs if you leave the fixed term early. Compare the break costs, discharge fees and other refinancing expenses with the potential savings and features of the new loan before deciding whether to proceed.
Equity requirements vary between lenders and depend on the property value, current loan balance, loan purpose and your overall application. Having at least 20% equity may help you avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), but refinancing with less equity may still be possible. A current property valuation may be required to ensure the loan amount required can be secured by your property.
Refinancing may allow you to review your interest rate, change loan features, adjust the loan term, consolidate eligible debts or access available equity. The potential benefits depend on your circumstances and should be compared with switching fees, break costs and the longer-term effect on repayments and total interest.
