Refix Your Mortgage

Lock in the best rates when your fixed term ends

Refix Your Mortgage

Mortgage Lab helps New Zealand homeowners compare fixed-rate options and negotiate before a mortgage refix date.

When your fixed mortgage term is coming to an end, it's the perfect time to review your options. This is your opportunity to secure a better rate, restructure your loan, or switch to a lender that better suits your needs.

Many people simply accept what their bank offers, but there's often a better deal available. Our advisers can compare your options across 27+ lenders and negotiate on your behalf to get you the best possible rate.

We recommend starting the refix process 2-3 months before your fixed term ends. This gives us time to explore options and lock in a good rate before it expires.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend reaching out 2-3 months before your fixed term ends. This gives us time to explore options, and many lenders let you lock in a rate up to 60-90 days in advance. Don't leave it until the last minute!
If you don't take action, most banks will roll your loan onto their floating rate, which is usually higher than fixed rates. Some may offer a fixed rate, but it's rarely their best rate. We can usually do better.
It depends on your view of interest rates and your personal circumstances. Shorter terms give you flexibility but mean more frequent refixing. Longer terms offer certainty but less flexibility. Many people split across multiple terms.
Absolutely! This is a popular strategy that spreads your risk. For example, you might fix half for 1 year and half for 2 years. This means you're never fully exposed to rate changes at any one time.
If you stay with your current lender, there's typically no cost to you for our service. We're paid by the lender. If you decide to switch banks, there may be legal fees involved, but we'll explain all costs upfront.

I had an excellent experience working with Nicola Winters as my mortgage advisor. From our first conversation, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions (no matter how small), and were always easy to reach by phone or email. I really appreciated how they kept me informed at every step and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Nicola also helped me navigate a few unexpected hurdles along the way with calmness and confidence. Their advice was always tailored to my situation, and I felt they genuinely had my best interests at heart. Thanks to their support, I was able to secure a great mortgage deal that fit my needs perfectly. I’m so grateful as a first home buyer and striking it lucky with an excellent mortgage advisor. If you are looking for someone who is not just professional and efficient, but genuinely kind and understanding - then Nicola is the one. Overall, I felt well taken care of and would not hesitate to recommend Nicola Winters to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor who is reliable, responsive, and truly excellent at what they do.
