When Did You Last Review Your Home Loan Rate?

If the answer is more than two years ago, there is a fair chance you are paying the loyalty tax. As a guide, a 0.50% rate cut on a $600,000 loan saves about $181 a month. John checks your exact numbers for free, and if staying put is the right call, he will say so.

Common Refinancing Questions

Should I refinance my home loan in 2026?

If you have not reviewed your rate in the past two years, it is worth checking. Lenders reserve their sharpest rates for new customers, so long-term borrowers often pay a loyalty premium. John compares 50+ lenders for free and tells you honestly whether switching beats staying, subject to lender assessment.

Can I refinance with the same bank?

You can ask your bank to reprice your rate, and it is a sensible first step. The catch is the bank only needs to beat your current rate, not the market. A broker gets you both: we request a reprice and compare it against 50+ lenders, so you keep the stronger offer.

How much does it cost to refinance?

Typical switching costs run from about $700 to $1,200, covering discharge fees, government registration and a new application. On a $600,000 loan, a 0.50% rate cut saves about $181 a month, so most Sydney refinances recover their costs within three to nine months.
