Think you're getting a fair deal on your mortgage? Here's a quick 3-step check to find out:


✅ Step 1: Know Your Current Rate


Log into your internet banking or grab your last loan statement. Find the interest rate listed - make sure it’s your current variable or fixed rate, not the comparison rate.


Tip: If you’re not sure, call your lender and ask:

“What’s my current rate, and when was it last reviewed?”



✅ Step 2: Compare It to What’s on the Market


Go to a lender comparison site or speak to a broker. Right now, competitive owner-occupier variable rates are often in the low-to-mid 5% range - and even lower with LMI waivers.


If your rate starts with a 6 or 7, you’re likely overpaying - especially if it hasn’t been reviewed in 12+ months.



✅ Step 3: Run the Numbers


Even a 0.5% higher rate on a $600,000 loan could mean $3,000+ per year in extra interest.


Ask your broker or use an online calculator to compare:


  • Your current repayments

  • What your repayments could be with a lower rate

  • Am I still on the right rate?

  • Can I actually afford to buy in this market?

  • What’s changed that I need to know — and what should I do next?


This webinar is your clarity session.
