Why do borrowers seek to refinance?
There are all sorts of reason why people decide to refinance their home loan, including early payout and release from the mortgage, unsatisfactory service from the existing lender, the desire to consolidate debts, and refinancing as part of an investment purchase strategy.
What should borrowers consider before refinancing?
The first and most basic consideration is whether you will be better off financially after you have refinanced.
You should find out if your current loan contract provides for
break costs or other fees if the loan is paid out early, and add to these the establishment costs associated with the taking out of a new loan.
Determine how long it will take you to recover the costs of refinancing. For example, if you will be selling in the next couple of years, and must pay out your mortgage anyway, refinancing may not be cost effective. However, if you intend to keep the property for some years, then refinancing may be the way to go.
Will your existing lender do a better deal?
After completing your research and deciding that refinancing is a good option, check with your existing lender to see if they will accommodate your requirements. Some lenders will go to great lengths to save an existing customer, and if you have done your homework you will be in a good position to enter into negotiations.
