It doesn’t pay to be loyal when it comes to your home loan

It doesn’t pay to be loyal when it comes to your home loan

Banks would like you to believe that moving to a new bank is hard work and expensive. That the time, effort and costs outweigh the nominal savings that you could recoup. The idea that we should be loyal to the bank who supplied us with our first money tin back in Year 1 is a huge commitment to a decision that our parents made, probably based on a quick decision our grandparents made a generation earlier… With competition between the banks fiercer than ever, it simply doesn’t pay to be loyal to a single bank without looking to see what else is out there. 

 

Today we finalised a refinance for a client that will be saving them $2,808 in the first year and approximately $95,000 over the course of their loan following a rate reduction from 4.39% to 3.65%. That’s useful money in anyone’s language and you can imagine how pleased the clients were to hear this would be in their account rather than their bank's. We have seen time and time again the savings that can be made by clients approaching us to go through a quick pricing comparison. 

Whilst there are fees involved in switching lenders, they can be quickly offset by the savings on offer. Such is the appetite for business, some banks will even help you cover the switching costs by sweetening the deal with their own contribution.

While the savings can be substantial, some clients still baulk at perceived difficulty of dealing with the banks. Never fear, our service goes beyond finding you a rate as we will liaise with the banks on your behalf right through to settlement. Leaving time for you to plan what you can do with the money we have saved you.

This service is free of charge and it will only take a few minutes of your time to see if you will be better off – there is nothing to lose. Give the team a call and we would be eager to review your situation.
