From scrimping every last dollar to save for the deposit to signing the contract of sale, there's nothing more exciting (and stressful) than buying your first home.

First Home Owners Grant

One major benefit of being a first time home buyer is having access to a range of government grants and incentives that can simplify the home buying process. For instance, you might be able to apply for the First Home Owner Grant, which helps Australians to get the funds they need to buy, or build their first home.

For more information about the First Home Owner Grant, from what it is, to the eligibility criteria, what the differences are in each state, how much you could receive, and when the grant gets paid, we have included helpful links in the dropdown below.

Refinancing your loan

Do you know the interest rate you are being charged on your mortgage? Have you stopped to consider how it compares to the current interest rate on similar products? If it's been a while since you last looked at your mortgage offering, it may be time to consider refinancing.

Refinancing involves switching out your old home loan with a new one. While it's easier said than done, refinancing your loan could give you access to a more competitive interest rate, especially if you have had a home loan for a few years. This could mean lowering your repayments and, more importantly, your total interest paid.

Over the years, interest rates have changed dramatically, meaning if you play your cards right, you could switch to a better deal.

We have listed a few reasons why people refinance below.

Reasons why you may refinance

If you've had a home loan for a few years now, it's safe to assume your life has changed in that time. You may have started a new job, received a promotion, or gone through significant life changes such as getting married or having your first child. You may be in a better financial position, and your home loan should reflect that.

Equally, you might be near the end of a fixed rate term or interest only period, so now is a great time to find out what your options are. This is especially important to do, as once the fixed interest rate period ends, the rate may revert to the lender's standard variable rate, which could be a lot higher than what you're used to paying.

Best Mortgage Rates is an experienced mortgage broker in NSW who can act quickly to ensure you are placed on a better offer before the fixed term ends.
