The Hills District has some of Western Sydney's larger family homes, and many owners in Kellyville, Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills and Rouse Hill bought years ago. That often means two things: strong equity and a loan that hasn't been reviewed in a long time.
Why bigger loans make reviews worthwhile
On a larger loan, even a modest rate improvement adds up. Try your own numbers in the refinance calculator. Just remember to account for switching costs, as our refinancing checklist explains.
Using equity well
- Renovating instead of moving. Avoids stamp duty and agent fees on a sale and purchase.
- Buying an investment. Use equity as the deposit, keeping the loans separate. See using equity to buy an investment property.
- Helping family. A family guarantee can help a child buy without handing over cash.
Upgrading within the Hills
If you're moving from Kellyville Ridge or Glenwood to a larger home, timing the sale and purchase matters. Read our bridging loans guide if you want to buy first.
What a review covers
- Your current rate compared with the market for your loan size and LVR.
- Fees and package costs you may no longer need.
- Whether your structure still suits you, such as splits, offset and fixed portions.
- How much equity you can access, and for what.
