The world is still reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and everyone is feeling the impact it has had on the economy. However, many homeowners have found themselves wondering whether they should check in with their Sydney mortgage broker service to review their home loan options for 2020.

Wanda from Personalised Mortgages based in Sydney says the current market conditions might present homeowners with some lucrative cost savings.

1. Loan interest are at an all-time low

The economy appears set for a slow recovery, which means that interest rates should remain at an all time low for some time. Wanda does not believe there will be any major changes to the current interest rates anytime soon, but shopping around and keeping an eye on your rates is a good idea

“If you are paying more than 3% for your home loan currently – owner-occupied or investment, then you could be paying too much.”

2. Why get a home loan health check?

Wanda recommends that homeowners regularly review their situation. There’s no other way to know if you are paying too much. The current market situation means there is plenty of value to be gained by savvy homeowners who take the time to explore their options.

3. Things to be mindful about

When you go in for a home loan health check with your mortgage broker, Wanda from Personalised Mortgages says to keep these things in mind:

What is the term left on your loan?
What is your current balance (including redraw)?
Do you want to retain some redraw?
Consider your current employment situation?

When you understand your situation, says Wanda, you will be able to make more informed decisions.

“Unlike a dental check-up, a home loan health check is painless, but you will have much to gain by knowing where you currently stand.”

Wanda cautions that a home loan health check is general advice only and is based on information provided by the client. It should not be taken as specific advice. Homeowners should always do thorough research to determine if the mortgage product being offered is suitable for their current circumstances.
