Refinancing

Many people refinance to get a better rate, consolidate debt, renovate or free up equity. If you’re thinking of refinancing, it’s important to weigh up the cost of refinancing against the long term benefits.

It's common to start to thinking about refinancing when interest rates or personal circumstances change.

If you’re refinancing for a better home loan, the most important thing to consider is the long term benefits against the actual costs of refinancing.

Many Kiwis are refinancing their home loan for a number of reasons, including to:

  • Consolidate debt
  • Borrow money to renovate or invest
  • Secure a competitive home loan interest rate
  • Move from a fixed home loan rate to a variable home loan rate, or vice versa

Refinancing your mortgage is not an easy decision. I can help you do the sums, taking into account all the costs of mortgage refinancing, to help you determine whether or not refinancing is the right move for you.

 

转贷refinance最重要的是考虑长期收益与转贷的实际成本之间的关系。这涉及到对现有贷款条件的全面评估,以及对未来财务状况的预测。

转贷refinance的原因包括:

  • 合并债务: 将多笔债务合并为一笔贷款,简化还款计划,降低管理负担。
  • 资金筹集:为翻新房屋或投资筹集所需资金
  • 利率优化:获取更具竞争力的房贷利率,减少长期的财务压力。
  • 利率转换:根据市场情况,从固定利率房贷转换为浮动利率房贷,或反之,以应对利率变化。

转贷涉及到对所有再融资成本的细致计算,包括可能的结算成本、提前还款罚款等。作为您的财务和贷款顾问,合鑫信贷可以帮助您计算,确保您能够清晰了解转贷的利弊,判断这是否是适合您的选择。

6种节省房贷的方法- 转贷refinance是否能帮我实现?refinance是否适合我?

01 问:如何获得更好的利率,包括在转贷时?

答: 尽管房贷还款通常占收入的40%以上。了解你的贷款利率,这是判断你的贷款是否仍有竞争力的第一步。协议获得更优惠的利率可能会对你的财务情况和生活状态产生巨大影响。

清楚了解还款金额和做好预算,这包括与你当前的贷款银行或机构沟通,或者通过另一家银行再融资,因为他们能提供更好的条件。例如,每借10万纽币,0.1%的减少可能帮你节省每年大约100纽币的利息。

假设你有一笔50万纽币的贷款,期限为25年,每两周一次还款。将利率从5.5%降至5%(降低0.5%),可以节省开支大约每两周71纽币,每年1846纽币,贷款期间超过46000纽币。如果你再融资并转到另一家贷款机构,你可能需要支付一些费用,贷款顾问会与你一起计算整体的受益,支出,和相关的手续,并确保你的决定是适合你的需求的。

找到经验丰富的合鑫信贷的专业贷款顾问沟通,了解你当前的贷款,现金流,以及家庭财务状况。他们会代表你与银行协商,找到市场上最适合你的产品,并且帮助你设计最合理的贷款结构。

02 问:现在的“小牺牲”如何换取日后房贷管理中的“大胜利”?

答: 当你办理房屋贷款时,银行会告知你的还款额,并通常会设置自动扣款。人们很容易让它自动运行而不加思考。然而,选择增加还款额实际上会产生巨大的差异。

你所支付的每一分超过固定还款额的钱,都会直接用于抵扣本金,从而减少你未来需要支付的总利息。例如:一笔500,000纽币的贷款,年利率6%,期限25年。如果你每周能额外偿还50纽币,你在整个贷款期限内可以节省超过71,000纽币。

合鑫信贷的专业贷款顾问将根据你的个人情况,了解你的贷款是否允许额外还款;如果可以,他们会为你处理相关手续。

03 问:与循环信贷(Revolving Credit)相比,对冲账户(Offset Account)有什么优势?

答: 对冲账户是一个与你的房屋贷款挂钩的日常或储蓄账户。在计算利息时,这些账户中的余额会从你的贷款本金中扣除,从而减少利息支出。你仍然可以随时使用这笔钱。

提现功能的操作方式类似于与房贷挂钩的大额透支额度。你可以进行额外还款,如果需要,只要在贷款限额内,就可以将这笔钱取出来。例如,如果你的贷款限额是100,000纽币,目前欠款60,000纽币,那么40,000纽币的额外还款就留在贷款中。如果你决定取出20,000纽币,你现在就要为80,000纽币支付利息。

如果你目前拥有对冲账户或提现功能,合鑫信贷的专业贷款顾问可以帮你了解其运作原理。如果没有,他们可以为您寻找提供此类功能的银行。

04 问:如何聪明地利用你的房屋净值(Equity)?

答: 净值是你真正拥有的房产部分,它随着你偿还贷款而增长。如果你拥有较高的净值,你可能有条件协商更好的贷款条件,因为贷方会将你视为更稳健的借款人。高净值还可以让你将其他高息债务(如信用卡或个人贷款)整合到房屋贷款中,从而可能为你节省资金并简化还款。

合鑫信贷的专业贷款顾问可以帮你计算房屋净值,并查看你是否能获得更优利率,确定债务整合是否能为你省钱。

05 问:为什么要审查贷款结构并考虑转贷(Refinancing)?

答: 各贷方和贷款产品之间的费用差异很大。咨询贷款顾问了解你正在使用(或不需要)的功能和产品是值得的,这样他们可以查看你是否能获得更高效的方案。无论是通过节省费用、降低利率,还是转向更符合你个人情况的功能,顾问都能帮你分析优劣并处理繁琐的工作。

06 问:如何保持对房贷状况的了解与掌控?

答: 在正确的时间获取正确的信息,对管理房贷有重大影响。一些银行通过数字平台提供强大的管理功能,能让你评估贷款是否仍具竞争力,监测净值增长,并追踪额外还款。

请记住,并非所有贷方都提供相同水平的数字化功能。贷款顾问可以接触广泛的贷方,获取最一手的贷款政策变更和价格咨询。他们能引导你找到那些提供最适合的产品和满意服务的机构。

下一步我该怎么做?

现在你可以看到,并非所有房屋贷款产品都是一样的。通过积极与贷款顾问沟通,你不仅可能节省资金,还能找到更适合你需求的贷款。银行都希望赢得你的业务,如果你不开口询问,就无法获得优惠。

Things to consider when refinancing.

  • Check on exit or deferred establishment fees that you will be required to pay when you switch loans.

  • What are the establishment fees on the new loan and are there any deals on at the moment?

  • If you are refinancing to a fixed loan or a honeymoon loan, find out what the repayments will be once the interest rate reverts.

  • If you are refinancing to access equity, make sure that you have done your sums correctly on your needs and that there is enough equity available in your property to go ahead.

Why would I refinance?

The main points you need to consider before refinancing your home loan relate to your motivation.

  • Getting a better rate

    The loan with the cheapest interest rate is not always the right option, and in some cases may actually cost you more money over the long term. A competitive home loan will offer a combination of competitive rates, low fees and flexibility. Click here to learn more about getting a better rate.

  • Access the equity in your property

    Many homeowners find it difficult and frustrating saving for things like holidays or renovations whilst paying off a mortgage, but it doesn’t have to be. Mortgage refinancing is a common way of accessing the equity you have built up in your existing property. Home equity loans are most commonly offered as a line of credit loan, which allows you to withdraw funds up to a set limit at any time. You may be able to draw down the initial equity loan either as a lump sum or in stages. Generally a line of credit loan is an interest-only loan, and in some cases you may be able to capitalise the interest payments.

  • Debt consolidation

    Struggling to make repayments on high interest debts such as credit cards and personal loans? Debt consolidation can lower your monthly repayments by combining several loans into a single loan, usually your home loan. Click here to learn more about debt consolidation.

  • Borrowing to renovate

    Renovating is a great way of adding value to your home. Depending on the size of your renovation project, you could need anything from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you already have an existing home loan then I will help you explore a number of competitive refinance options.

  • Refinancing costs

    Refinancing will generally have some entry and exit costs in the start and can range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars, however it may offer you more flexibility and can save you more money in the long run. As a guideline, things that will affect which fees you are charged and how much they are, include: the size of your loan; the point you are at in your loan term; which lender holds your current loan; the type of loan (e.g. fixed vs. variable); and whether you are switching loans or changing lenders completely.

How much could I save by switching loans?
