About This Checklist

A refinance for debt recycling is about structure, not size. Done properly, your total debt stays the same on settlement day, and only the way the loan is arranged changes.

The checklist follows how we run a refinance for debt recycling, from the cost tally to the first statement at the new lender.

Already running deductible splits? Our guide to moving a split to a new lender explains why each one is replicated exactly.

What Is Inside

How To Use It

  1. Fill in the cost tally with quotes from both lenders.
  2. Weigh the total against the benefit over the years the strategy will run.
  3. Tick the structure items before the application is submitted.
  4. Work through the settlement and records items in the final four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not by itself. A refinance for structure generally opens at the same total balance as the loan it replaces, just divided differently. Drawing equity to invest is a separate step taken later, in tranches, with advice from your financial adviser.

Sometimes, but get a written break cost quote first. A break cost reflects the gap between your fixed rate and current rates, and waiting for the fixed term to end is often cheaper. Weigh it with the other switching costs against the benefit over the years the strategy will run.

Generally the new split takes on the character of the split it repays, provided it pays that split out directly and is no larger than the payout figure. Merging it with home debt creates a mixed-purpose loan. Your registered tax agent confirms the position for your circumstances.
