If you're a homeowner in Australia, you may have heard about the upcoming "fixed rate cliff" that's set to hit the mortgage market in the coming months. This refers a period of time where many Australians are due to have fixed-rate home loans expire, which means that borrowers will revert to their current lenders standard variable rate and therefore have their mortgage repayments increase significantly overnight.
To help combat this and to try to secure a better overall home loan rate, homeowners will then have to either switch to a new variable rate product or find a new fixed-rate loan. This can be a daunting prospect for many homeowners, but there are ways to navigate this situation and ensure you are getting the best possible home loan product for your individual circumstances. Many Australians are choosing to do this with the help of an expert mortgage broker - in fact, industry body MFAA have reported that over two-thirds of home loans are now written by mortgage brokers as opposed to clients choosing to go direct to their banks.
So, the question needs to be asked - why are so many Australians choosing mortgage brokers over a bank and how can a mortgage broker like Neptune Finance Australia help you navigate this situation and deliver a favourable outcome? Here are a few key points to consider:
1. Brokers have access to a wide range of lenders: A mortgage broker has access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, which means that they can help you find the best loan for your needs. As we work for you not the banks, we always operate with your best interests at heart.
