Your refinance options

Four pathway types cover almost every deadline-era loan. Lender names stay off this site — broker guides are confidential — so what you see are anonymised types with indicative ranges as at 23 August 2026. Exact lender matching happens in the broker conversation.

Pathway

Standard refinance

Full credit assessment against current policy, with the widest lender panel and the lowest indicative rate ranges.


from 6.89% p.a.

p.a. · as at 23 August 2026


  • Lowest indicative rate ranges on the panel
  • Offset accounts available with some lenders
  • Loan sizes to $3.5m residential and $4m commercial

Full income and serviceability assessment applies. Most lenders in this lane require a corporate trustee.

Pathway

Express refinance

Streamlined “easy refi” lanes: no serviceability reassessment and no income documents where conduct is clean.


from 6.94% p.a.

p.a. · as at 23 August 2026


  • No income documents or serviceability reassessment
  • Assessed on 6–12 months of clean repayment history
  • Existing legal advice can often be reused

Dollar-for-dollar only — the new repayment must be lower than the current one. Most lenders in this lane require a corporate trustee.

Pathway

High-LVR refinance

For loans sitting above 80% of the property value — a smaller panel lends to 85–90% LVR on refinance.


from 7.49% p.a.

p.a. · as at 23 August 2026


  • Lends to 85% LVR, and to 90% in some cases
  • Loan sizes to $3m
  • Fixed-rate options available with some lenders

Higher rates apply above 80% LVR, and corporate trustees only. Watch early-repayment fees on these products.

Pathway

Credit-impaired refinance

Near-prime lanes that tolerate defaults, arrears history or discharged bankruptcy — priced for the risk.


from 7.99% p.a.

p.a. · as at 23 August 2026


  • Paid defaults and judgements considered
  • Discharged bankruptcy accepted by some lenders
  • Servicing can be assessed on rent plus contributions

Rates sit 1–2% above prime lanes and application fees are higher. Mortgage arrears right now narrows the panel further.

Residential ranges shown; commercial ranges differ and cap at 80% LVR. Indicative only — not an offer of credit.
