Refinancing

What is it?

A refinance is essentially the transfer of your loan from one lender to another. It involves the discharge of your current mortgage and the registration of a new one with your new bank or lender. This enables you to change the terms of your borrowing. Similar to applying for your first mortgage, a lender will look at your finances and determine your level of risk and eligibility for a new loan.

When may you need this service?

There are many different reasons to refinance your loan. You may seek to refinance a loan to reduce the term of your loan; obtain a lower interest rate; restructure your loan to enable you to pay it off faster; consolidate various consumer debts by paying them off using money from a home loan; or take advantage of your home’s equity by increasing your borrowing to make improvements or renovations to your property.

How can we help?

The highly experienced team at Godfreys Law will guide you step-by-step through the process. We will contact your current lender to request a discharge of your existing mortgage, review the terms and conditions of your
new loan, including an explanation of the key terms you need to be aware of, prepare and execute documents, attend to the repayment of your existing home loan, as well as any consumer debts or rates arrears and deposit any excess funds into your nominated bank account.
