Refinancing

Mortgage Advisory

Reshape your lending to match today's goals.

Optimize your mortgage structure, secure better rates, and align your lending with your current goals.

Make your mortgage work for you.

Your life changes, and your mortgage should too. Refinancing isn't just about chasing a lower rate; it's an opportunity to restructure your debt, access equity, or consolidate lending to better suit your financial situation today.

How we support you:

  • Rate Negotiation:

    We deal with the banks to ensure you're getting competitive market rates.

  • Equity Release:

    Unlocking the value in your home for renovations or investments.

  • Bank Switching:

    Handling the entire process if moving lenders offers a better long-term benefit.

Refinance triggers

Signals that it is time to review your lending.

Rate improvement threshold 0.45%

If we can secure a 0.45% or greater reduction, the savings typically outweigh legal and break costs inside 18 months.

Equity checkpoint 80% LVR

Once your property drops below 80% LVR we can often remove low equity margins and negotiate cash contributions.

Average turnaround 10 days

Time from documentation to unconditional approval when switching banks, including solicitor instructions.

Rate + term optimisation

We benchmark every bank's discreet pricing and decide whether to fix, float, or blend the two.

  • Blend and extend calculations.
  • Offset and revolving credit advice.
  • Break cost modelling before you commit.

Equity release planning

Tap into value for renovations, investments, or debt consolidation without resetting the entire mortgage term.

  • Separate loan splits for new projects.
  • Interest only periods aligned to build timelines.
  • Clear paper trail for tax and accounting.

Bank switching game plan

When a move makes sense we manage the entire process including cash back negotiation, valuations, and legal coordination.

  • Compare legal + cash incentives.
  • Ensure discharge and registration timings align.
  • Post-settlement review to keep structure tidy.
Switching made simple

3. Documentation + legal

Coordinating solicitors, ordering valuations if required, and managing any break fees before you sign the new contracts.

4. Post settlement review

We confirm automatic payments, insurances, and revolving facilities are working, then diarise the next rate expiries.

Case Study

Case study: restructuring for flexibility.

A professional couple in Auckland had $1.1m of lending split across five fixed rates with two different banks. We refinanced to one major bank, negotiated a 0.55% rate drop, carved out a new revolving credit for the renovation, and set expiry ladders every 12 months.

Result: $7,800 annual interest savings and a clean structure that keeps future refinance opportunities open.
