Beginners’ Mistakes

There are numerous commercial property loans available. Before committing yourself to a loan, it is important to assess your level of risk. By evaluating all the possible commercial factors, you can avoid risks and anticipate shocks in the market.

When sourcing for a commercial property loan, think about the affordability of your desired property and the strength of your cash position. You should also ask if you have sufficient cash to tide you over an economic downturn, and if you can afford loans with fluctuating interest rates (or if you would prefer the security of a fixed interest rate).

Common Beginners’ Mistakes

Not bothering to refinancing your home loan.
Only looking at refinancing options after you are eligible to do so
Refinancing with your existing lender (without considering other options).
Having a low credit rating, or taking up additional lines of credit before refinancing.
Neglecting to consider all costs.
Not locking in rates. Don’t gamble with your loan, lock in your rate to hedge against unforeseen shifts in rates.
Not understand the details of your refinancing contract. Take note of the details, they’re important.
Assuming the lowest rate is the best (without considering overall costs).
Switching loans without clarifying the total costs (i.e. legal fees, stamp duty fees, etc.).
Not asking for advice. If you’re unsure, ask us ! We’ll be glad to help.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I refinance my home loan?

Refinancing your home loan is an essential part of good financial management for any home owner. By refinancing, you can:

Save money with lower loan interest rates.
Convert a portion of your equity into cash.
Consolidate debt, using any cash difference from your loan balance to pay off other loans and debts.
Change your loan type from a floating rate to a fixed rate, if you prefer the stability fixed rates provide (or vice versa).
Switch to a shorter term loan and pay off your mortgage sooner (if it suits your current income).
Decoupling so that one party can buy another property without incurring additional buyer stamp duty.

Are there any costs involved with home loan refinancing?

If you are out of the lock-in period from your current bank and do not have any clawbacks, the cost incurred will be around $2,500 to $4,000 (depending on property type). This consists of legal conveyancing, valuation report fees and a mortgage stamp duty. Be sure to check for specific costs with your loaning bank. If you need our advice and assistance with this, please contact us.

What factors do lending banks take into account, before approving a refinancing loan?

Your credit rating and history: The lending bank may look into your mortgage payment history, instalment debt payment history and credit card/credit use history. If you have been making regular, timely payments on all debts, you will likely be deemed as a “safe” borrower.

Your collateral: As your home will be used as collateral for your loan, the value of your home is an important factor in how much a bank will be willing to lend you.

Your capacity to repay a loan: A bank will determine is you have the capacity/ability to repay your loan, based on your monthly income, household expenses and total debt. The lender may also take into account other sources of funds, such as bank accounts, bonds, stocks, mutual funds, etc.

Can I refinance my home if it is currently listed for sale?

Yes you can refinance. However, we would recommend a no lock in package so that you do not incur any penalties on the loan

Am I able to refinancing for more than my property’s valuation?

No, you may not.

What documents will I need to provide the lending bank?

This is determined by the lending bank. Once you have contacted them (via EasyRates), they will tell you what documentation is needed.

Is it necessary for me to get an appraisal before applying for loan refinancing?

This is dependent on your unique situation (and the lending bank). After you have contacted the lending bank (via EasyRates), they will inform you if an appraisal is necessary.
