What is a Restructure or Refix?

published_with_changes

Loan Restructure

A loan restructure allows you to adjust your existing home loan setup — changing repayment type, term length, or splitting between fixed and variable rates.

Make your loan suit your current financial position, not the one you had years ago.

Refix

A refix means locking in a new fixed interest rate when your current fixed term ends or when you want repayment certainty.

Secure better rates and predictable payments for the term ahead.

How It Works

1

Review your current loan

We check your interest rate, repayment type, and loan term completely.

2

Understand your goals

Whether it's lowering ongoing monthly repayments or setting up faster debt reduction profiles.

3

Compare lender options

We benchmark your current deal against live market rates across multiple bank & non-bank lenders.

4

Negotiate with your lender

We can often directly secure a better deal in-house without the hassle of changing banks.

5

Implement changes

Once officially approved, your loan structure parameters or locked rates update immediately.

Example Scenarios

Scenario A

Example 1: Refixing a loan

Current fixed rate: 6.50%
New optimized rate: 5.95%

Savings: approximately $120 per month on a $500,000 balance.

Scenario B

Example 2: Restructuring a loan

Changing from interest-only periods back to a principal & interest structural repayment plan.

Result: Shorten your total remaining term and save thousands over the life of the loan.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Refixing means staying with your current lender but securing a new locked fixed rate block. Refinancing implies migrating your file over to a completely different financial institution.

Yes, you can, but the lender may assess economic break costs. We will accurately calculate whether the long-term benefits outweigh those upfront termination elements.

If you actively migrate from a floating variable rate over to a fixed parameters model, your ongoing repayment amounts generally adjust starting at the next immediate cyclic billing turn.

We highly recommend performing a professional check-up every 12–24 months, or immediately leading up to your locked fixed rate contract expiration dates.
