FREE Home Loan Health Check Australia
Get a FREE Home Loan Health Check and save THOUSANDS!
When was the last time you reviewed your mortgage interest rate? Do you know how much equity you have in your home? How healthy is your home loan? Your house could be due for a home loan health check.
Gold Coast home loans are getting more expensive to service with cash rate hikes we have seen in 2023. To make sure you are still getting a competitive rate, better get your home loan health checked ASAP.
What is a home loan health check?
A home loan health check is an assessment of your existing mortgage to determine whether you could be saving money on your repayments. It’s a comprehensive review of your mortgage, which considers various factors such as interest rates, loan terms, and fees.
A home loan health check can help you understand your current loan structure and identify areas where you could be getting a better deal.
During a home loan health check, a mortgage broker Gold Coast will analyse your mortgage agreement and look for potential ways to reduce your monthly repayments. They may also identify any fees or charges that you’re paying that could be avoided or minimised.
The purpose of a home loan health check is to ensure that you’re getting the best possible deal on your mortgage and to provide you with options for reducing your expenses.

How our FREE home loan health check works
When a refinance mortgage broker such as myself performs a home loan health check for you, expect us to check loan:
- Interest rates and compare them with current market rates to see if you can save money when you refinance home loan
- Features to check if they are being used effectively, or if you have all the necessary features you need
- Contract to identify any fees or charges (e.g., annual fees, early termination fees) and advise you on how to minimise or avoid them.
- Term to see if it is appropriate and whether or not there are benefits to be gained from extending or shortening it
- Repayment amount and assess if it can be reduced by comparing it to home refinance loan rates
- Equity in your home and evaluate if there’s enough of it for you to access additional funds for renovations or other expenses.

FAQs on Home Loan Health Check
A home loan health check can help you identify potential cost savings, improve loan terms, better understand your loan structure and payments, reduce financial stress, increase financial literacy, and gain access to expert advice.
You typically need to compare loan options from different lenders, select a loan that suits your needs, apply for the loan, provide the required documentation, and settle the loan. A refinance mortgage broker will absolutely make this process quicker and easier for you.
A cashback deal is an incentive offered by some lenders to attract new customers or encourage existing customers to refinance. It involves receiving a lump sum payment upon settlement of the loan.
Refinancing can help you to save money on interest, reduce monthly repayments, access equity in your home, consolidate debt, and switch to a more flexible loan structure.
The amount of cashback you can receive varies depending on the lender and the type of loan, but it typically ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You can use this amount to offset the initial costs of refinancing (i.e., if you have to pay processing and/or break fees, etc)
Yes, cashback deals often come with conditions such as minimum loan amounts, a requirement to remain with the lender for a minimum period, or restrictions on the loan product.
A very likely course of action to take after a home loan health check is for a homeowner to consider refinancing their home loan. The refinancing process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the lender, the complexity of the loan, and the documentation required.
We recommend getting a home loan health check at least once a year or whenever your financial circumstances change.
Yes, you can refinance with your existing lender, but you should still compare their offers with those of other lenders to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Refinancing can have a temporary negative impact on your credit score, as lenders will conduct a credit check during the application process. However, if you make repayments on time and maintain a good credit history, your credit score will recover.
Using a mortgage broker can be beneficial, as they have access to a wide range of lenders and can provide you with expert advice on the best loan structure to suit your individual circumstances.

Phil, Jenny and team worked tirelessly to get our transaction over the line. Given the tight timeframes, and more complicated refinance and purchase there were numerous credit conversations. We were fortunate to have their advice, industry expertise and ability to deliver under changing circumstances. Ultimately, Charlotte and I were able to settle on time and seamlessly with Professional Lending Solutions help.

We couldn't recommend Phil and his team enough! We've been working with Phil for about six months to get us to a position where we are able to purchase our own home, and are getting ready to move into our dream home as we speak.Phil's been straight up with us in regards to our options throughout the whole journey, and worked with his connections to get our application across the line amid investment property settlements, and the added complication of both of us owning our own businesses.We hope to never move again (!) but will be back to talk to Phil for our refinance options in the future 🙂

Phil was recommended to us and we could not be happier with the result we achieved having him by our side for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home.Phil was incredibly prompt, honest and professional. He addressed every single query (and there were MULTIPLE) in such a timely manner. Phil helped map out the nitty gritty details from the get-go with honesty and his professional opinion so that when we decided to go ahead and buy in this current market, instead of waiting, we were able to achieve settlement in such a tight timeframe (21 days to be exact). We will DEFINITELY be approaching Phil in the future and are 110% more than HAPPY to recommend him to friends and family. Jenny, thank you for being the behind-the-scenes magician during our entire journey. We are very appreciative of your hard work (especially in the moments right before settlement).

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional service I received from Phil during my journey to buy my first home. From the very beginning, his dedication to guiding me through the complex process of obtaining a mortgage was truly remarkable.Phil demonstrated a level of honesty and transparency that I never expected from a mortgage broker. He patiently walked me through all the available options, explaining every detail in a way that made sense. His expertise gave me confidence in the decisions I was making.What truly set Phil apart was his commitment to my best interests. He went above and beyond to find a loan that was tailored to my financial situation, ensuring that I wasn't taking on more than I could handle. His advice was always genuine and well-informed, and I never felt pressured into making any decisions.Throughout the entire process, Phil was incredibly responsive. He promptly answered all my questions, no matter how big or small. It was evident that he genuinely cared about my experience and wanted to see me succeed in securing the best mortgage for my new home.I cannot recommend Phil highly enough.

Phil and his team went above and beyond with the service they provided.I have been a long term client of PLS as I could not find a house that met my budget.Phil was very understanding as he listened to all my questions I had to ask. He provided me honest feedback which made me feel safe and comfortable that I made the right choice in choosing him.Because it was my first time buying, PLS answered every question I had without frustration or judgement as they had to explain things to me once, twice and something a third.It was a very stressful life decision that should not be taken lightly and with Phil and his team behind you, you will never be made to feel as if you made the wrong choice with choosing them as a Broker.Many thanks once again.
