The costs of refinancing your home loan can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on your specific circumstances. The range of fees and charges you may be liable for include both exit and entry fees, many of which will depend on your specific situation and current lender.

Exit Fees

Typically you can expect to pay a discharge or exit fee when terminating your current loan. You may also need to pay:

  • Deferred establishment fee
  • Deferred settlement fee
  • Penalty interest (fixed-rate loans)
  • Switching fee (when refinancing with your existing lender)

As a guideline, things that will affect which fees you are charged and how hefty they are include: the size of your loan; the point you are at in your loan term; which lender holds your current loan; the type of loan (eg. fixed vs. variable); and whether you are switching loans or changing lenders completely.

Entry Fees

You will also be liable for a range of entry fees for your new loan. Again, which fees you have to pay will depend on your lender, loan and what deal you/your mortgage broker is able to negotiate for you with your new loan. Fees may include:

  • Application fee
  • Lenders Mortgage Insurance (for loans with an LVR greater than 80%)
  • Valuation fee
  • Duties and taxes (eg. stamp duty)
  • Legal costs
