In speaking with our clients there are some common questions borrowers ask about switching loans. The information below will help you prepare and make the right choices.
Is there a fee associated with switching home loans?
Generally, fees apply if you exit your loan within the first few years. Depending on the lender and loan product will depend on how much it will cost to change loans. When assessing the fees, your Bernie Lewis mortgage adviser can help you weigh up any short term costs with longer term savings, as a result of moving to a more suitable home loan.
Can I save money by switching loans?

How long does it take to switch loans?
In terms of your time, about 2 hours. Your first appointment with the mortgage adviser will take approximately 1 hour. The adviser will then go away, do research, compare products and then meet with you to present their recommended options. This second appointment will take approximately another hour.
Once you’ve selected which loan to switch to, it usually takes between 3 to 4 weeks for all the documentation to be completed with both lenders and the transfer to take place. Your Bernie Lewis mortgage adviser will take care of this process and ensure your new loan settles on time.
