Not sure if this guide is right for you?
Here are 5 signs that it's time to refinance. 

Market rates have dropped

If rates have dropped from their peak, refinancing can allow you to lock in a more competitive fixed rate and choose a term that suits your risk tolerance. This can give you more longterm certainty if rates rise again later.

Your income has changed

If your income has increased, refinancing could give you access to better interest rates and shorten your loan term so you can pay it off faster. If your income has decreased, refinancing could help you reduce repayments and restructure your loan for better cash flow. 

Your goals have shifted

Your mortgage should support your goals, not work against them. Refinancing can help if you’re planning renovations, consolidating debt, investing in another property or preparing for lifestyle changes (career break, semi-retirement, etc.)

Your loan doesn't suit your life anymore

Lots of people stay with a mortgage structure that made sense at the time but hasn’t been reviewed since.  A financial change is a good prompt to ask, “Does this loan still work for me?”

Your expenses look different now

Life changes like having children, rising living costs, or supporting family can put pressure on your budget. Refinancing may help you lower repayments and find a more flexible suitable loan structure that helps ease some of that financial stress.

Kevin & Sue

"Aidan Hand recently helped us with a home loan which was a little bit out of the ordinary. The bank's original offer was not what we were looking for, so Aidan worked with both them and us to find the right solution. We were really happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Aidan to anyone else."

Mike & Jodie

"My wife Lucinda and I started talking with Aidan back in 2023 before he started AH Mortgages, and we knew straight away we wanted to work with him going forward. Aidan was very personable and easy to talk to, but what I appreciated most was that he didn't muck around with too much small talk and nothing felt scripted.  Furthermore he was knowledgeable, totally honest, interested in our journey and goals, and shared his opinions & would speak freely which was great."
