REFIX & REFINANCE

Your current mortgage should still suit where you are going.

A fixed-rate expiry or change in circumstances is a useful time to review your rate, lender, repayment structure and overall home loan strategy.

HOW PINNACLE CAN HELP

Advice that starts with your situation.

Refixing and refinancing are different decisions. Refixing keeps the lending with your existing lender while selecting a new fixed term. Refinancing moves lending to another provider. Pinnacle Mortgages can compare the practical benefits, costs and trade-offs so the decision is based on more than an advertised rate.

Rather than starting with a particular bank or product, Pinnacle Mortgages looks at what you are trying to achieve, the strength of your application and which lending pathways may suit your circumstances.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

Practical support from the first conversation.

Review your current structure

We look at your loan balances, fixed-rate expiry dates, repayment setup and what you want the lending to achieve.

Compare staying versus moving

We can consider options with your current lender and whether another lender may offer a more suitable overall proposition.

Understand switching costs

Cashback repayment, legal costs, break costs and lender conditions can affect whether refinancing makes sense.

Restructure repayments

A review can also consider loan splits, fixed and floating portions, offset or revolving facilities where appropriate, and repayment frequency.

Top-ups and changing needs

If you need additional lending for renovations, investment or another purpose, we can consider that as part of the wider review.

Plan before your rate expires

Starting the conversation before a fixed term ends gives more time to understand the available options rather than making a rushed decision.
