The thing about taking out a great home loan is... it doesn't always stay great.
We believe that a loan should never be ‘set and forget’. Which is why we’ve instituted our industry-first annual rate review process where we continually negotiate with the chosen lender of all our clients to ensure the lowest possible costs on their loan, year after year. It’s just one of the ways we’re doing finance better!
Here’s a summary of the results we achieved for existing clients during the first half of 2020.
Annual rate review summary / January-June, 2020
Total results:
For the first six months of the year, we reviewed 132 loan accounts, 82 of which were successful in securing a rate reduction. The average overall monthly saving was $85, or $1,020 annually which is no chump change! We managed to save one particular customer $551 a month, or $6,612 annually. The average rate reduction was very high at 0.31%.
