How much can I expect to save?
When considering a refinance it is important to check how much you will actually save before you decide to switch lenders and accept the refinance rebate or cashback offer. The cost of refinancing a home loan will vary depending on the lender. We have access to many lenders who occasionally offer Refinance Rebates/cash back specials to new home loan customers.
Amount of refinance or cashback rebate?
Each lender's refinance rebate offer will differ. However on average, it could range from as low as $2,000 cashback per security and up to $5,000.
In some instances, lenders offer refinance rebates based on the amount of properties brought to the new funder. For example, a lender may offer $2,000 per security. If this is the case and you have 7 properties to refinance, then you could get $14,000.
Additionally, some lenders offer holiday points on your credit card which could effectively be worth around $3,000. Other offers could include electronic goods (such as LCD TV’s ) and even additional loan fee waivers in conjunction with the refinance rebate!
When do I get the refinance rebate?
You will receive the refinance or cashback rebate on settlement, or within a fortnight of settlement depending on the lender.
