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

Excellent service from Mat and his team, especially April. Buying an investment property over the holiday season was handled seamlessly and what could have been a stressful process felt smooth and well managed from start to finish. The loan approval process was efficient, communication was excellent and I always appreciated the prompt email updates along the way. A professional and responsive team who made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend.

Annett Koenig

We have used Andrea and her incredible team for several property refinancing efforts and have been so happy with their service every time. Andrea really knows how to get the most out of the banking industry and I have recommended about 10 of my friends to her. Can't speak highly enough of the Happy Finance Company!

Riley Flanigan

Andrea and her team have helped us with our properties, and they have always provided an excellent service. Andrea has a lot of experience, and she is always working to get the best outcome.

It was a pleasure working with Andrea to refinance our home loan. Andrea is hard working, experienced and strives for the best possible outcome for her clients. Andrea was responsive throughout the entire loan process and we would have no hesitation in recommending Andrea to our friends and family in future for her knowledge and guidance.

Amy Mortland

Thanks for delivering a smooth financing process once again Mathew Crossley! We really do appreciate the regular updates that you and the team provided, it took the weight off our shoulders 🤩
Mat has organised the finance on at least five properties for us over the last 15 + years and it's great to see his knowledge and service is second to none each time. Our application was a little trickier, having a small business and trusts to factor in, but Mat took it all in his stride.
Thanks Mat!

Lauren McDonnell - Solicitor

In the past I have always dealt with Mat however as he was on leave, I was introduced to Jesse. He was just as forthright and helpful, not to mention friendly and professional. The communication and process were easy and these guys at Happy Finance Company always go above and beyond to help me with my financial goals.

Renee Nichols

Emma and myself cannot thank Andrea and Josh enough for making the process of buying our home so much easier. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They were both professional and friendly. Thankyou guys! We are so happy!

Kelly Bridges

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

Matt and the team have been great. Nothing is ever to hard and they always manage to find a way to get things done.
Highly recommend the The Happy finance Team

Jake Mclardy

Mat Crossley has been absolutely outstanding through our whole buying process. From the beginning, we were so at ease with his immense knowledge and efficiency in helping us reach our goals. It has been a long process for us and Mat has always been supportive and kept us up to date about everything going on with our applications and what was coming up next. We are looking forward to our continued partnership with Mat as we start our house build. We would use Mat again and again! Thank you Mat you are amazing!

Emma Biggs

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

Jason Lynch

We have dealt with David several times over the years and he has always been able to deliver a high level of service and products. We would absolutely recommend him to friends and family and will continue to use him for our lending needs.

Cassandra Saab

I’ve known Mat for over 10 years, and he’s provided me with exceptional service always. April is also fantastic. Always professional and always deliver against expectations. Fast reliable service. Thanks, Team.

Emma Louise Bell

They are really professional and trustworthy brokers who could provide you the best solution in very short time. My husband and I are very happy with their recommendations. They are indeed experts in their area and you can always get a satisfied answer from them in solving your financing needs.

Siyuan Huang

We have been with Mat for many years and he has helped us with many loans, sales and refinancing. Always finding us a great deal, making process super easy for us and always quick to respond. Has definnetely made our life easier and makes it less daunting when thinking about buying a new house.

Marina Irvine

Cannot recommend or rate highly enough!
After 8 months with a previous broker and no result David turned things around with a great result in a week! The team gets things done so efficiently and keep you updated and informed every step of the way.

Meg McDowall

Thanks Mat and April for all your help

Tracey Orchard

Matt Goodyear is an absolutely phenomenal human! He has been our mortgage broker for a few years with a couple of refinances and some very amazing ideas with how to manage the money side of our lives! Such a highly personable human that is really good at explaining stuff and helping us decide the right thing to do.
