    What our clients say:

    "Thank you so much for all the help you gave us with our loan refinancing. We had never used a mortgage broker before, so were a little hesitant and unsure whether you would be able to help us. Andrew understood our position and explained his recommendation clearly and we were very happy with the solution he recommended. The saving in interest was very significant and having all our accounts with the one bank is going to make it so much easier to handle transfers and paper work. The whole loan process was very smooth and friendly and I appreciated being kept up to date with how the loan was progressing and the constant checking that all the paper work was exactly right. It was wonderful having someone handle everything for us and we were amazed at how easy Mortgage Choice Beaumaris made the whole process. It was a pleasure to deal with such knowledgeable, efficient and friendly people and we wish you every success with your business. Mortgage Choice Beaumaris certainly gets a 10 out of 10 from us and we have no hesitation recommending you to our friends. We have already told many people how happy we were with your service and you will definitely be hearing from my son in the near future to see what you can recommend for him."

    Sue and Alan Beazley, Beaumaris, Vic

    "Andrew's wealth of knowledge and expertise has helped us to develop a successful finance strategy that enabled us to purchase our first investment property. I look forward to continually working with Andrew and the team at Beaumaris to build a large invesment portfolio." Jodie Johnson, Sandringham

    "Best mortgage advice and follow up we have ever had in our combined 50 years of experience of house buying in Australia and the U K: It was friendly, informative and informed; practical, versatile and effective. We especially appreciated Andrew's and then Amanda's thoughtfulness, energy and
    persistence in seeing us through unforeseeable complications and a last minute hiccup."
    Herb and Eve Hahn. Beaumaris Vic

    Set resolutions to repay your home loan sooner

    This year's tips for budgeting, spending and managing your mortgage

     

    Becoming a better budgeter, wising up on spending and making the most of any savings can help borrowers master their mortgage and own their home outright sooner, according to Australia's largest independently-operated mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice.

    Company spokesperson, Belinda Williamson said, "If your goal is to pay off your home loan sooner, the beginning of the year is a great time to set new financial resolutions."

    "Challenge yourself to ramp up your home loan repayments by readjusting your budget and finding ways to make extra contributions to your mortgage.

    "Well thought-out saving, spending and loan repayment strategy decisions can help put you months or even years closer to living mortgage free. Keep in mind even small financial changes can have a big impact on how much interest you pay over the life of your loan and the length of your loan term."

    Mortgage Choice offers these financial resolutions to help borrowers own their home outright sooner:

    Resolution 1. Become best buddies with your budget
    If you don't already have a budget, the New Year is the ideal time to start one. Ensure it factors in all your regular spending - home and/or other loans, utility bills, medical expenses, memberships, grocery bills, insurance costs, etc. Don't forget to include funds for socialising treats. Be honest with your budget and refer to it each time you contemplate a new expense.

    Resolution 2. Slash your cash limit
    Consider ways to cut your daily spend. For instance, a daily caffeine hit at $4 per weekday equates to $80 per month. Did you know by making a coffee an every-second-day spend and contributing $40 extra per month to your mortgage from day one (based on a $300,000 loan over 30 years at 7%) could reduce the total interest owed by around $31,000 and the loan term by almost 2 years?

    Resolution 3. Review your home loan with a fine-toothed comb
    There could be underutilised loan features costing you money or features worth refinancing for. Get to know your loan's features. Your mortgage broker can help review your current loan and its features and identify any opportunities to shop around for something better suited to your goals.

    Resolution 4. When rates fall, keep repaying more
    If your home loan's interest rate has recently fallen, consider keeping your repayments at the higher, pre-fall rate. For example, take a home loan of $300,000 at 7% over 30 years. If your rate reduces to 6.5% and you keep repaying your loan as if the interest rate was still 7%, you could shave approximately 4 years off your loan term and save around $60,000 in interest owed.

    Resolution 5. Make the move from monthly to fortnightly
    Switching your monthly repayment to fortnightly may make a significant difference to your loan term and the interest owed. There are 12 months and 26 fortnights in one calendar year; by paying fortnightly, you make the equivalent of 13 monthly repayments. The savings, based on a $300,000 loan at 7% equates to around $103,000 in interest and about 6 years and 6 months off the loan term.

    I have had the best experience of my life in applying for a loan with Mortgage Choice Beaumaris. The people were friendly, helpful and gave me updates every step of the way to the conclusion of the loan. Even after the loan was finalised they still were making sure I was happy with everything about the loan. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loan.
