Refinancing

Whether you're seeking a lower interest rate, looking to consolidate debt, access equity, or simply want a loan that better fits your lifestyle, Gwen @ Ferns is here to guide you to a smarter mortgage solution.

Refinance your home loan to unlock better rates & savings

Your home loan is likely your biggest financial commitment, and it's essential that it continues to serve your best interests. The market changes, your personal circumstances evolve, and what was once the best loan for you might no longer be. That's why refinancing is a crucial financial tool that can save you significant money and provide greater flexibility.

At Ferns Finance, we offer expert, straightforward advice on how refinancing can benefit you:

  • Secure a Lower Interest Rate: Even a small reduction in your interest rate can translate into thousands of dollars in savings over the life of your loan. We'll compare options from over 60 banks and lenders to find you a more competitive rate.
  • Consolidate Debt: Simplify your finances and potentially reduce your monthly repayments by rolling high-interest debts, like credit cards or personal loans, into your home loan.
  • Access Home Equity: Tap into the equity you've built in your property for renovations, investments, or other major life events.
  • Change Loan Features: Switch from a variable to a fixed rate (or vice versa), change your repayment structure, or add features like offset accounts that better suit your financial habits.

Don't leave money on the table. Talk to us today to see how refinancing can work for you.

Do I have to come into an office to apply?

Not at all! We offer phone, video, and online appointments — perfect if you're in a rural spot or juggling a busy schedule.

Do I need a finance broker?

Whether you need a finance broker depends on your financial situation and comfort level with the borrowing process. If you have a good understanding of financial products and feel confident negotiating with lenders, you may not need a broker. However, if you're unfamiliar with the process or have specific needs, a broker can provide valuable assistance.

Ultimately, the decision should be based on your individual circumstances and preferences.

Do you help with house and land packages in new developments around Logan or Yarrabilba?

Definitely. We often work with clients purchasing in estates like Yarrabilba, Flagstone, or Ripley Valley. We can guide you through finance stages tied to construction.

Do you work with local real estate agents and conveyancers?

Yes — we have a strong local network and can connect you with trusted professionals to make the process smooth.

How do finance brokers get paid?

Finance brokers typically earn their income through commissions paid by lenders when a loan is successfully arranged. This means that their services are often free for clients, as the lender covers the broker's fees. However, some brokers may charge a fee directly to clients for their services, especially if they provide additional consulting or financial planning.

It's important for clients to clarify the payment structure with their broker upfront to avoid any surprises later in the process.

How long does approval usually take in Logan or Gold Coast?

Depending on the lender, approvals can take 2–10 business days. We’ll prep your application to reduce delays.
