The pros and cons of refinancing your mortgage
Why switching to a new mortgage lender is always worth considering
AI summary
Refinancing your mortgage means getting a new loan, often with a different lender, to replace your current one. This is distinct from restructuring (changing your loan setup) or refixing (choosing a new fixed rate).
Kiwis typically refinance to secure better interest rates, lower repayments, get cash incentives, or release home equity for other projects.
Potential downsides include costs like break fees for fixed-rate loans, lawyer fees, and incentive clawbacks. A mortgage broker can help you navigate the process.
