Frequently Asked Questions for Refixing and Refinancing
When should I consider refinancing my mortgage?
If your fixed rate is expiring, interest rates have changed, or you want to free up equity, refinancing could save you money and give you more flexibility.
Is refinancing only about getting a lower rate?
No — while rates are important, refinancing can also restructure your loan for easier repayments, faster debt reduction, or access to equity for renovations or investments.
Does refinancing cost money?
There may be lender fees or break costs depending on your current loan. We’ll explain any costs upfront and help you weigh them against the potential savings.
How long does refinancing take?
It depends on your lender. Once your application is submitted, Counties Home Loans will update you with a timeframe from the lender, and keep the process moving smoothly.
