Interest rates, lender policies and personal financial circumstances change over time. A home loan that was competitive when you first took it out may no longer be the best option available.
A Home Loan Health Check reviews your current mortgage to ensure it still suits your financial goals and that you are not paying more than necessary.
At What If We Finance, our experienced mortgage brokers compare your existing loan against a panel of more than 50 lenders and over 2,000 loan products. We analyse your interest rate, features, fees and overall structure to determine whether your loan remains competitive or if a better option is available.
Sometimes the solution is refinancing. In other cases, we can negotiate directly with your existing lender to reduce your interest rate or improve your loan terms.
Our goal is simple: make sure your mortgage continues to work in your favour.
A Home Loan Health Check is a professional review of your current mortgage conducted by an experienced mortgage broker. As part of the review, we assess:
Many borrowers take out a home loan and then keep the same loan for many years without reviewing it. However, lenders frequently introduce new products, change pricing or offer new features that may benefit borrowers.
A Home Loan Health Check ensures your mortgage stays aligned with both the current lending market and your personal financial situation.
Interest rates move regularly and lenders often offer more competitive rates to attract new borrowers. A review may reveal opportunities to secure a lower rate and reduce your monthly repayments.
ome borrowers unknowingly pay higher rates simply because they have stayed with the same lender for many years. A Home Loan Health Check can identify whether you are paying a loyalty premium and whether better options exist.
Ensuring your loan has the right features can help improve your financial flexibility.
Your financial situation may have changed since you first took out your loan. A review helps ensure your mortgage structure still suits your goals such as:
When you request a Home Loan Health Check, our brokers conduct a comprehensive review.

Sometimes your lender can offer a better rate if we negotiate on your behalf.
We compare your loan against thousands of home loan products available through our lending panel.
We review whether your loan includes features that can help reduce interest or improve cash flow.
Your mortgage strategy should support your broader financial plans, whether that includes upgrading your home or building a property investment portfolio.
Many borrowers only review their loan when they experience financial pressure. However, regular mortgage reviews are recommended. You may benefit from a Home Loan Health Check if:
Even if your loan remains competitive, the review provides reassurance that your mortgage remains suitable.

Yes. People with property investments can benefit from reviewing their loans regularly to ensure their lending structure remains suitable for portfolio growth.
At What If We Finance, we work with a large panel of Australian lenders, including major banks, regional banks, customer-owned banks and specialist non-bank lenders. This includes institutions such as Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, NAB, ANZ, Bank of Melbourne, ING, Macquarie Bank and many specialist lenders that offer flexible loan solutions.
Having access to a wide range of lenders allows our brokers to compare loan products and policies across the market rather than being limited to a single bank. This helps us find home loan options tailored to different situations, including first home buyers, investors, self-employed borrowers and clients with more complex lending needs.
The timeframe for refinancing a home loan can vary depending on the lender, your documentation, and the complexity of the application. In most cases, a home loan refinance takes between two and six weeks from application to settlement.
The process usually involves submitting the application, lender assessment, property valuation (if required), formal approval, and then coordinating settlement with your existing lender.
