Free home loan review · Sydney

Most people think refinancing is just about the rate. It’s not.

The rate is one number. Your offset, your redraw, how your loans are structured and where you want to be in five years matter just as much. Get a free review from a mortgage planner who looks at all of it.

Why the rate isn’t the whole story

A home loan is more than just an interest rate

It’s the foundation of your financial future. Rather than simply finding the cheapest loan, Angelo works with you on a lending strategy that fits your goals. He calls it Mortgage Planning.

What most people check

“What’s the rate?”

  • Compare the headline rate
  • Switch to whoever is lowest this month
  • Leave the savings sitting in a separate account
  • Set it and forget it until the next rate rise
What Angelo checks

“What’s the loan doing for you?”

  • The rate, and the features you’re actually using
  • Offset and redraw, set up so your savings work on the loan
  • How your loans are structured for the next property
  • Where you want to be in five years, then the loan to match

What your free review covers

Six things we look at besides the rate

Even small differences in rates and terms add up over the life of a loan. So do the features you’re paying for and not using.

Your offset account

Is it linked to the loan, and is your money actually sitting in it? Money in a linked offset can reduce the interest you pay.

Redraw and extra repayments

Exploring offset savings or extra repayments? We check which features suit how you actually use your money.

How your loans are structured

Home and investment loans set up the right way for the next purchase, not just today’s one.

Fixed, variable or split

Option for fixed monthly repayments, or the flexibility of variable. Or some of each.

Debt consolidation and equity

Opportunities for debt consolidation, or access to cash through your home equity for a renovation or the next move.

Your goals

Another investment property, reducing debt faster or preparing for retirement. The loan should support where you’re going.

Try it in 10 seconds

What is your offset worth?

Move the sliders. This is the interest your savings could be cancelling out each year if they sat in an offset account linked to your loan.

Interest your savings could offset
$2,400
a year, or about $12,000 over 5 years
Check my loan’s setup

A simple estimate for illustration only: savings × your rate × years, with no compounding, fees or changes in rates or balances. It isn’t a quote or credit advice. Whether an offset suits you depends on the lender, the loan and your circumstances.

Is your loan due for a review?

If any of these sound like you, it’s worth a look

  • You haven’t looked at your loan since you settled
  • Your savings sit in an account that isn’t linked to your loan
  • Your fixed rate is ending soon
  • You’re planning a renovation, a build or the next property
  • Your income or family has changed
  • You’re self-employed and the bank made it hard
  • You’ve been “going to” look at it for a while

“We had been ‘going to’ look at our home loans. I filled out an online form on Pivot and Angelo called that day. From our first conversation I felt valued and supported. We refinanced our loans and are now set up to start to build our home. Angelo was available anytime and made the process easy and kept us regularly updated throughout.”

Questions

Before you book

Does the review cost anything?

No. Most of the paperwork and application process is managed by us at no cost to you, as the lender covers our fees.

I’m happy with my rate. Is a review still worth it?

Often, yes. The rate is one part of it. We also look at your offset and redraw, how your loans are structured and whether the loan still fits where you’re heading, like a renovation, a build or another property.

Do I have to switch lenders?

No. Refinancing usually means a new loan with a different lender, but many people refinance with their long-standing lender. Sometimes the review shows your current setup is fine. Either way, you’ll know.

Will you apply for anything without asking me?

No. We compare suitable lenders and loan products and explain each option first. We only prepare an application once you’ve chosen your preferred loan.

How does refinancing work?

Refinancing involves getting a new home loan and using some or all of the funds to pay off your existing one. If you’re moving to a new lender, they manage paying off your current loan.

Do you only work in Sydney?

No. Smooth Home Loans is based in Sydney and works Australia-wide, 7 days a week.

I’m self-employed. Can you help?

Yes. Angelo works with self-employed clients and business owners, including low doc and alt doc loans.
