is your HOME LOAN STILL WORKING for you?

Interest rates change. Banks change. Your circumstances change. So why stick with the same home loan forever?

At Edgewater Finance, we help homeowners take control of their mortgage by reviewing and refinancing their current loans. Whether you're chasing a better rate, consolidating debt, or unlocking equity — we'll tailor a solution that suits your life now, not five years ago.

when should you REFINANCE?

Here are some signs it might be time:

  • It’s been 2+ years since you reviewed your mortgage
  • You’re paying more than 6% interest
  • You want to renovate or invest
  • You have credit card or personal loan debt
  • You’re out of a fixed rate period
  • Your financial situation has changed recently

why REFINANCE your home loan?

Refinancing isn't just about chasing a lower rate (though that’s a good start). It's about aligning your loan with your current financial goals.

01

Lower Your Interest Rate

Don’t pay more than you have to. A small rate cut can save thousands over the life of your loan.
02

Access Equity

Use the equity in your home to renovate, invest, or fund major expenses — without selling.
03

Debt Consolidation

Simplify your finances by rolling personal loans or credit card debt into your home loan.
04

Switch Loan Types

Move from a variable to a fixed rate (or vice versa) to suit changing market conditions or your budget preferences.
05

Get a Loan That Works for You

Your loan should fit you. We’ll find lenders and structures that match your situation today — especially if you’re self-employed, a growing family, or planning for retirement.

FAQs - ABOUT REFINANCING

In many cases, yes. If you’re currently paying a higher interest rate than what’s available on the market, refinancing can reduce your monthly repayments — sometimes by hundreds of dollars per month. But it’s not just about rate. We’ll also look at fees, loan features, and your long-term goals to make sure refinancing genuinely benefits you.
Yes, there can be. Typical refinancing costs include discharge fees from your current lender, application fees with your new lender, valuation fees, and possibly government charges. But don’t stress — we’ll run the numbers upfront to ensure any cost is outweighed by your savings or benefits.
On average, refinancing takes between 2–4 weeks from initial review to settlement. We’ll keep things moving and update you every step of the way, so there are no surprises.
Absolutely. In fact, we specialise in helping self-employed clients who often get knocked back by traditional lenders. We work with lenders who understand business owners and assess income in more flexible ways.
Refinancing itself doesn’t damage your credit score, but multiple loan applications in a short time can. That’s why we don’t shotgun applications. We carefully assess your situation, match you with the right lender, and submit one strong application to improve your chances.
Yes — though your options may be more limited. We have access to specialist lenders who work with clients with poor credit histories. If there’s a way forward, we’ll find it.
Yes. Many people refinance to roll credit cards, personal loans, car finance or tax debts into one lower-rate home loan. This can simplify your finances and reduce your overall monthly repayments — but it’s important to do it strategically, so you’re not just dragging out short-term debt for longer than necessary.
Most lenders prefer that you keep at least 20% equity in your home, but we work with lenders who offer options with as little as 10% — especially if your repayment history is strong.
Yes, but you may face break costs for exiting early. We’ll help you calculate whether the savings from switching outweigh the cost of breaking your current fixed rate.
Not always. Sometimes your existing lender can offer a better deal to retain your business. We’ll compare your current lender with what’s available across the entire market and give you the pros and cons — so you’re in control.
