Step By Step Guide: How To Refinance
While we manage every step of the refinancing process for you, here’s an overview to help you understand what to expect.
1. Review Your Current Loan
The first step in the refinancing process is to assess your current loan. We will review your terms, repayments, and interest rate of your existing loan to determine if refinancing will be beneficial to you. It’s also important that we check for any exit or discharge fees, as well as other features of your current loan, such as early repayment penalties, which could influence the overall cost of refinancing and impact your decision. Our goal is to ensure you have a clear understanding of your current situation before moving forward with refinancing.
2. Compare New Loan Options
Once we’ve reviewed your current loan, we will compare a range of loan products from multiple lenders that best align with your financial goals. Refinancing is not just about securing a lower interest rate – we’ll also identify loans with features tailored to your needs, such as flexible repayment options or offset accounts. Our aim is to find a loan that not only reduces your interest rate but is also the best fit for your broader financial situation. We’ll also consider the fees, features, and reputation of various lenders to ensure you get the most suitable option.
3. Assess Eligibility
Before submitting your refinancing application, we’ll ensure that you meet all necessary eligibility criteria. This includes confirming stable income, a strong credit history, and sufficient equity in your property or business. We’ll gather all the required documentation, such as income statements, property valuations, and proof of identity, to ensure a smooth application process. This step helps us maximise your chances of approval and secure the right refinancing terms available to you.
4. Submit Your Application
Once your eligibility is confirmed, our team will handle the entire refinancing application process for you. We’ll prepare and submit the application to your chosen lender, taking care of everything from arranging property valuations to securing lender approval. Throughout this process, we’ll keep you informed and updated, ensuring all necessary documentation is submitted accurately and that everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
5. Loan Approval and Settlement
Upon approval, the new lender will pay off your existing loan, and we’ll manage the settlement process for you. If you’ve opted to release equity, we’ll ensure that the funds are made available for your intended use, whether for debt consolidation, renovations, or other financial goals. We’ll oversee the transition to your new loan, ensuring a seamless experience so you can start benefiting from your refinancing right away.
As part of Vivid Financial’s commitment to service excellence, we conduct six-monthly check-ins to ensure your loan remains aligned with your goals, while continuously reviewing your interest rate to ensure it stays optimal as the market fluctuates over time.

frequently asked questions
How does the refinancing process differ between residential and commercial properties?
While the core process of refinancing—reviewing your current loan, comparing new options, assessing eligibility, submitting an application, and finalising the loan—remains the same for both residential and commercial properties, there are key differences. Commercial refinancing typically involves more detailed financial assessments, such as reviewing business financials, cash flow projections, and the property’s income-generating potential. Residential refinancing is more focused on personal financial factors like credit history and home equity. At Vivid Financial, we tailor our approach to suit your specific property type, ensuring the refinancing process is efficient and aligned with your goals.
How can refinancing help with debt consolidation in both residential and commercial loans?
Refinancing allows you to consolidate multiple debts, such as personal loans, credit cards, or existing business debts, into a single loan. For residential properties, this can simplify your finances and potentially lower your interest rates. In a commercial context, refinancing can streamline cash flow management by consolidating debts from multiple sources, reducing interest costs, and improving your business’s financial position. Our team will assess your full financial situation and recommend a refinancing strategy that helps reduce your overall debt burden.
Can I refinance my commercial property to access additional working capital?
Yes, refinancing a commercial property can provide an opportunity to access additional working capital by releasing equity in your business premises. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to invest in growth, purchase new equipment, or cover operational costs. We’ll help you evaluate your options, ensuring that the terms of your new loan align with your long-term business goals while providing the necessary liquidity for expansion.
What are the potential risks associated with refinancing in a fluctuating market?
Refinancing in a fluctuating market can present both opportunities and risks. While refinancing can secure lower rates and better loan terms, it’s important to consider the current and predicted market conditions. For residential loans, we’ll assess how interest rate changes may impact your repayments, while for commercial loans, we’ll evaluate how market volatility could affect your business’s profitability. Our professional Client Finance Brokers will ensure you’re fully informed of any potential risks and work with you to mitigate them through strategic loan structuring.
