Fixed rate period ending soon?

Don't stick your head in the sand...



A better deal awaits!

Is your home loan on a fixed interest rate that's about to end? Don't stick your head in the sand and do nothing! We're here to talk through your options and get you a better deal. At The Happy Finance Company, we believe in financial happiness and helping you make the best decisions for your future.

Understanding the end of your Fixed Rate

When your fixed-rate period is about to end, it's time to take stock of your financial situation. Here are your options:

1. Roll onto a Variable Rate with your current bank

This is the path of least resistance, but it might not be the most cost-effective. With rising interest rates in Australia, rolling onto a variable rate could mean higher monthly payments and more uncertainty in your financial planning.

2. Fix again with your current bank

This option provides stability in your monthly repayments, but with interest rates on the rise, locking in a new fixed rate with your current bank might not be as favourable as it once was.

AN ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE IN TODAY'S CLIMATE

3. Refinance with a different bank - find the right fit for you

In a high-rate environment like the current one in Australia, refinancing your mortgage can be a strategic move to secure your financial well-being. Refinancing can offer:

Lower Interest Rates: Refinancing can often get you a lower interest rate than what you were paying previously, leading to substantial savings over the life of your loan.

Budget Relief: Lower rates mean lower monthly payments, easing your budgetary strain and freeing up funds for other financial goals.

Protection from Rising Rates: With rates on the rise, locking in a lower rate through refinancing can shield you from the potential future burden of higher rates.

If you choose Option 3 (refinancing), you have two primary options:

Refinance to a variable rate

Initial Savings: Variable rates tend to be lower than fixed rates initially, which can lead to immediate savings on your monthly payments.

Flexibility: Variable rates can decrease if interest rates drop, providing potential savings in the future.

No Break Fees: Variable rates often have no break fees if you decide to pay off your loan early or refinance again.

Refinance to a fixed rate

Stability: Fixed rates provide a stable and predictable monthly repayment.

Budgeting Confidence: With a fixed rate, you can budget more accurately, knowing that your mortgage payment won't fluctuate.

Protection from Rising Rates: Locking in a lower fixed rate can protect you from future increases.

NOT SURE WHICH WAY TO GO?

Don't worry, we'll help you decide based on your individual circumstances.

What our happy clients have to say about us

We were referred to Matt to assist us in setting up finance for an investment property. We have now brought 4 though him and re financed our PPR. Matt is able to explain how and who will lend you money and make it super simple to understand. I will keep going back to Happy Finance for my lending.

Peter Watts

Matt and the HFC team are fantastic to work with. We've worked with them on property purchases and refinances over the years and have always had a great experience. They’ve gone over and above for us on multiple occasions, which we really appreciate. Matt is very strategic in his approach and always takes the time to explain our options and educate us along the way. James and the rest of the support team are also excellent – always responsive, helpful and easy to deal with. We’re very grateful for all of their help and support over the years and would definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a great mortgage broker. Thank you!

Tahlia Vincent

I rarely leave a review, but I can't recommend Mat and his team enough.

They've made the whole process so much easier and more transparent compared to my previous experiences without them.

Their communication is exceptional; I always felt in control and informed enough to take timely action.

I would definitely choose them again as my brokers for my next property purchase, and you should too.

Thanks, Mat, April, and Yannie, for your support!

Raymond Hieu Tran

Andrea and her team were fantastic to deal with. They made refinancing easy and efficient, with great communication and a clear, easy-to-follow process. It took the stress out of what can be a complicated experience. Highly recommend!

Maddie Dalziell

I can't recommend Matt and his team at The Happy Finance Company enough! They were absolutely superb in guiding me through the entire process of securing a loan.

From start to finish, Matt and his team (special thanks to Cielo and Kristy) were incredibly supportive, proactive, and patient. They took the time to explain everything in simple terms, ensuring I felt informed and confident every step of the way. Their responsiveness and efficiency made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

What sets The Happy Finance Company apart is their genuine care and dedication. I always felt like they had my best interests at heart, and they went above and beyond to make things happen. As a first-time investor, they took the time to explain the finance requirements for a trust and business, helping me navigate complex financial structures. Even after the loan was secured and the house had settled, they followed up to check in, prepare me for the first payment, and ensure I had everything in place. That level of care really shows how much they value their clients.

I highly recommend Matt and his team and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Thank you, Matt and the team, for your outstanding service!

Greg

I had such a great experience with The Happy Finance Company. Andrea and her team were super helpful, easy to deal with, and really took the stress out of the whole process. They explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.
You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and go the extra mile to help. Highly recommend Andrea and her team if you’re looking for a friendly and reliable mortgage broker.

Matthew

Mat (with one T) from the Happy Finance Company has helped me on a number of occasions over the past few years. Since being introduced to him he has always been able to offer honest and professional advice and options regarding my finance queries.

He has delivered above my expectations and has always been able to present multiple options and advise not only for the short term but long term benefits and negatives around selecting products.

I would highly recommend Mat and the Happy Finance Company for anyone looking whether for a one off, or for a long term partner for their finance journey.

Thanks Team!

Joshua Allen

We have gone through the Happy Finance Company twice. Rain and Andrea are excellent! So thorough with great communication. They made the process so easy for us!

Emma

Mat and his team have been exceptional to work with. Making the restructure of our loans an easy transition. Would (& do recommend) them to anyone needing help with their finances.

Danielle Brown

I understand how cliché this paragraph will sound for a review, but I actually can’t recommend Andrea and the team highly enough, or anyone else that’s closely comparable in not just what they offer, but more importantly, what they deliver.

I first came by Andrea through a reputable and respected Real Estate agent in 2015. Since then, Andrea has not only created brilliant work with efficiency and speed, it’s backed up with execution (all highly desirable attributes in this field of work), there has also been occasion where she’s saved some deals that were on the brink of loss (deals initially setup elsewhere, only to fail at the eleventh hour. This is where Andrea was introduced to me and came to the rescue).

I might also add, that all the work we’ve done, then and since, has been over the phone, and interstate. We’ve not yet met in person, though this shows the assurance and trust she’s equipped with.

And with the new venture into The Happy Finance Company, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience the teams A grade work once again in 2021 (and again this year 2022, facilitating a property purchase for a family member).

The work is very personalized, and understanding of each clients situation.
They’re much more than the great rates and products…

There’s Brokers, and then there’s The Happy Finance Team;):) I can only encourage you to avoid headaches, hassles and precious/wasted time (or worse, biggest deals of your life lost) with others in the brokerage field, and instead work with the best 👌🏽

I’m sure I’ve more than made my point ~ but if you do want quality work and outcomes, these guys are pick of the bunch 🏡

I never thought the experience of financing a house could be made so easy! Andria and her team were amazing and kept us well informed through the whole process. Would highly recommend.

Dean Burley

If you're in need of a mortgage broker who goes above and beyond, look no further than The Happy Finance Company. Five stars all the way! Twice we have had the pleasure of working with Andrea. We are beyond impressed with her exceptional service and expertise. From start to finish, Andrea was available to assist us with what we thought wasn’t possible and fought for us to achieve the best possible rates. Andrea's knowledge of the mortgage industry is unparalleled. She took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the mortgage process, ensuring that we fully understood the terms and conditions. Her ability to simplify complex financial concepts made us feel confident and informed throughout the entire transaction. A shout out to Josh also, he makes things happen! Thanks guys.

Loren Egan

If Carlsberg did mortgages, it'd probably be the best in the world. Infinitely Happy with the HFC making complicated things easy! Thanks yet again Mat and the team

Helen Holcroft

I have relied upon David's support through the purchase of 3 properties now (the most recent being through The Happy Finance Company), and I wouldn't look anywhere else! The service is 10/10, there are no silly questions, and I always know exactly where we stand and what is required. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Shelby Lindsay

Andrea got in contact with me after I had left a message about wanting to find a competitive rate for my mortgages. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable about the different products on the market and gave me some great advice about how best to proceed. Whilst I did not end up using the Happy Finance Company, as I decided to stay with my existing bank, I would confidently recommend their services to others. Thanks Andrea!

Ben Donovan

Highly recommend Matt and the team at Happy Finance Company. They go above a beyond in their service They are friendly and down-to-earth yet very professional and experts in their field. We will continue to use them for future financing.

Glen Fludder

Mat had a challenge with my wife and I being deemed to be self employed but he found us finance that suited our needs. As we hadn't accessed finance for 25 years, things have changed however the electronic methods worked. Lots of documentation but took the time to read it all and ask questions that Mat hd no trouble answering.

Tristan kept us advised as every step in the process was finalised.
