Refinancing Your Home Loan on the Sunshine Coast

Feeling stuck with your current home loan? Maybe your fixed rate has expired—or was always higher than it should have been. You're not alone. But there’s good news: refinancing doesn’t have to be stressful, confusing, or expensive. At I Know The Broker (IKTB), we specialise in helping Sunshine Coast homeowners reduce their repayments, unlock equity, and improve loan flexibility—all while paying zero broker fees.

What Is Refinancing—and Why It Could Save You Thousands

Refinancing means replacing your current home loan with a new one—typically to secure a lower interest rate, access equity, or change your loan features. If your financial situation has changed since signing your original loan—or if your lender’s specials have expired—refinancing can put money back in your pocket.

Home Loan Refinancing

Many Sunshine Coast locals refinance now to:

  • Reduce monthly repayments
  • Consolidate credit cards or other debt into one simple loan
  • Access the equity in their home for renovations, investments, or lifestyle projects
  • Switch loan types or features (e.g. introducing an offset account)
  • Escape loyalty penalties (a.k.a. “loyalty tax”) and regain control over their finances

Debunking Refinancing Myths & Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Myth Truth
"I cannot refinance because break fees are too high." Brokers assess your true savings after fees—often the refinance still pays long-term dividends.
"Refinancing means hours of paperwork and bank chasing." Not with IKTB. We handle all documentation, and for business owners, often no need for full financials—just NOA or BAS statements.
"All loans cost the same—why move?" Your loan could lack helpful features like redraw, offset, or flexible repayments. Switching can improve terms significantly.
"It is safer to stay loyal to my existing bank." Banks sometimes penalise loyalty with higher rates. Comparing lenders directly often reveals much better deals.
"Only people with high equity can refinance." Many lenders accept LVRs up to 85%—and debt consolidation can even help manage equity more strategically.

Real Sunshine Coast Story: Sam’s Refinance Success

“IKTB made refinancing simple. Less paperwork than I expected and clear monthly savings from day one.”

Meet Sam, a Sunshine Coast electrician with a family and a busy business. He was juggling multiple debts—credit cards, vehicle leases, and two home loans—all at high-interest rates.

His challenges:

  • Overwhelming documentation requirements as a self-employed person
  • Break fees from his current lender
  • No clarity on saving actual dollars vs. costs

How IKTB helped:

  1. We arranged a refinance using NOA-only income verification, simplifying his application.
  2. We consolidated debts into a single low-rate home loan.
  3. Breakdown costs and setup fees were quickly offset by monthly savings.
  4. Sam got a better rate and structure—no more juggling multiple payments.
