What mortgage refinance options do I have?

If you need financial assistance then the best option is to contact Fox Symes using the "Enquire" button above for more information. Generally speaking, Fox Symes can assist you with expert advice on your personal circumstances. If you think you can benefit from a free mortgage assessment to see how you can save money by refinancing your existing loan then the team at Fox Symes can take care of that.

When you apply for refinancing you basically apply for a new loan you then use the new loan to pay off your old one. The idea is to use a lower rate loan to refinance with so you can save on high interest rate costs.

This could be a great way to consolidate your existing debts because you can move any outstanding debt you have into the consolidated loan. Instead of having to pay higher interest on your credit card debts, personal debts and home loan you can pay one low interest, and one monthly repayment.

Refinancing allows you to:

  • Minimise the amount you owe
  • Have one convenient loan to take care off monthly
  • Pay less in interest
  • Pay off your home loan much faster than if you were to keep your existing debts

Sally and John are a typical Australian couple

Five years ago they bought their own home. But they didn't start out debt free; they had various loans from the past including a personal loan, a car loan, and three credit card debts.

As you can imagine the couple was pretty frustrated about the increased repayments and the consistent worry about finding the money to pay off their debts. They were about to fall into a bottomless pit of debt that got bigger every month.

A snapshot of their loan accounts revealed the following:

Loan Account Balance Minimum Monthly Repayment
Home Loan$425,000$2,550
Mortgage Vehicle Loan$16,500$300
Personal Loan$8,500$500
3 Credit Cards$40,000$1,200
Total$490,000$4,550

Their minimum monthly repayments at the time were $4,550.

After getting a refinancing assessment from Fox Symes Sally and John took out a new home loan for $490,000. This allowed them to consolidate all their existing debt into the new loan.

On top of this they now only have to pay one monthly repayment AND they are saving a whopping $1,300 per month.

    Good morning,

    I currently have a contract with Fox Symes. My contract is due to be paid off in full in 2016.

    I have a question in relation to a motor vehicle I am struggling to get my head around.

    My vehicle is currently salary sacrifice at the moment and i am wanting to sell. My pay out figure for the vehicle is $10,000.
    The vehicle is also worth $10,000.
    My question is, if I get rid of the vehicle is there any chance in the meantime I am able to obtain a $5,000 loan for another motor vehicle?

    Regards

      Hi Stephanie,

      Thanks for your question.

      Your chances of obtaining a car loan will depend on your financial and personal situation. This will also depend on the contract that you currently have with Fox Symes.

      To get a standard car loan, you typically need a good credit history and be in full time employment. If you would like to discuss your eligibility or options, please get in touch with a lender featured on this page.

      All the best,
      Shirley

      Hi Leanne,

      Thanks for your question.

      A good place to start is to check your credit file to see where you currently stand. If you have a good credit standing this opens up a lot of your options.

      However, if you find that your credit is still in a bad standing you may want to approach a lender that specialises in these type of loans. On our panel of lenders we have Pepper and Fox Symes who may be able to assist.

      You may also want to speak to a certified mortgage specialist, they’re home loan experts who can help you find the right loan for your situation.

      Cheers,
      Shirley

      Hi Kim,
      thanks for the question.

      People who have been bankrupt in the past can definitely get home loans, but it will depend whether they’re still considered a ‘discharged’ bankrupt or not. Usually from when you become bankrupt to when you are no longer considered a discharged bankrupt is five years. During this time it’s extremely difficult to obtain finance, so you may want to wait until after this discharged bankrupt entry is removed from your credit file. I’d recommend obtaining a copy of your credit file to find out if this will be a limiting factor when applying for a home loan.

      I hope this helps,
      Marc.

      Hello lacey,
      thanks for the question.

      This will depend on the specific loan. Most loans will limit the amount you can borrow to 80% of the property value, or up to 90% if you’re prepared to pay lender’s mortgage insurance. For a purchase price of $270,000 and 80% limit would mean you’d need a deposit of $54,000.

      I hope this helps,
      Marc.
