Smart Refinancing
There is a lot to consider when thinking about going down the refinance route, we help you through the following questions to find out whether refinancing is the right solution for you!
- How do I find the best rates?
- How much is refinancing actually going to cost me?
- Is it worth it?
- How do I apply for a new mortgage?
- How do I know if I qualify for a new mortgage?
- Will refinancing hurt my credit score?
Many people look to refinance for many different reasons including, but not limited to -
- Your income level has changed
- You want to consolidate your debts
- You need to access a lump sum (due to medical bills, renovations, emergencies etc)
- Your expenses have changed
- Your financial situation has changed due to injury, illness or redundancy
- You have received a large sum of money through inheritance or promotion and can afford to pay a large portion of your mortgage off
What costs do I need to look out for when refinancing?
- How do I find the best rates?
- Nullam a consequat diam, id pharetra massa
- Praesent porttitor enim quis risus gravida
- Solicitor fees
- New valuation fees
- Any loss of finance due to the changeover
When contacting your bank and lenders, as mentioned previously, make sure that you get ALL of the quoted fees in writing, be it through letter or email, so that you have solid proof of the costs so that they don’t suddenly change on you without you being able to prove that your previous quote existed. Over the phone won’t do if you want to be responsible with your refinancing costs. A different cost could make or break the decision to refinance, so don’t leave anything out or you may be refinancing with no benefit whatsoever.
