Perfect Your Mortgage

Refinance and restructure for better rates and terms

Perfect Your Mortgage

Mortgage Lab helps New Zealand homeowners review, refinance, restructure, or renegotiate an existing mortgage so the loan still fits their rates, goals, and cash flow.

If you already have a mortgage, there's a good chance you could be getting a better deal. Banks don't always offer their best rates to existing customers – but they do compete hard for new business.

Our mortgage advisers can review your current loan and see if refinancing makes sense. We'll compare your rate against what's available, calculate any break fees, and determine if switching could save you money.

Even if you stay with your current bank, we can often negotiate better rates and help you restructure your loan to pay it off faster or reduce your repayments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Break fees apply when you pay off a fixed-rate loan early or refinance before the fixed term ends. The fee depends on how interest rates have changed and how long is left on your term. We'll calculate your exact break fee and factor it into whether refinancing makes sense.
We recommend reviewing your mortgage whenever a fixed term comes up for renewal, or if your circumstances change significantly (new job, inheritance, etc.). Many people also review when interest rates drop significantly.
Absolutely! Banks often offer better rates to keep existing customers, especially when they know you're considering switching. We handle these negotiations for you and often achieve better results than going direct.
A revolving credit is like a large overdraft secured against your home. Your income goes in and reduces the balance (and interest), while you draw on it for expenses. It's great for those who are disciplined with money and want to reduce interest.
It depends on your situation and risk tolerance. Fixed rates offer certainty, while floating rates let you make extra payments without penalty. Many people split their loan across both. We can help you decide what's right for you.

What Our Clients Say

Michael is amazing. We first met him a couple of years ago when we looked at refinancing. He went over and above all expectation to get us approved, which he did. But in the end we did not proceed at that time. We approached Michael again a month ago to refinance as we were not happy with our current bank. Once again, he was super efficient and very thorough and successfully got approval for us which we have completed. Thank you Michael for all your help. We highly recommend Michael and Mortgage Lab.
