Debt Solutions & Loan Management

Whether you’re carrying too many loans, paying too much interest, or simply want a structured plan to become debt-free sooner — we help you consolidate, restructure, and manage your debt strategically.

Whether you need to consolidate, restructure, or simply ensure your loans are optimally managed — we have a strategy for you.

What Is Debt Consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines multiple debts — credit cards, personal loans, car loans, and other liabilities — into a single facility, typically at a lower interest rate. By reducing the number of repayments and lowering your effective rate, consolidation can reduce your monthly cash outflow and simplify your financial life significantly.

Is Consolidation Right for You?

Consolidation is most effective when your combined debts carry high interest rates (credit cards often charge 18–22% p.a.) and you have sufficient equity in real property to secure a new facility at a much lower rate. We’ll run a full cost analysis — factoring in break costs, application fees, and loan terms — to determine whether consolidation will genuinely improve your position.

Why Restructure?

Loan restructuring is appropriate when your existing facility no longer suits your circumstances — whether that’s because your income has changed, your loan has reverted to a higher rate, your goals have shifted, or better products have entered the market. Restructuring can mean switching from variable to fixed, extending your loan term to reduce repayments, or splitting your facility to manage risk.

Fixing Rate vs Extending Term

Two common restructuring decisions are fixing your interest rate (for repayment certainty) or extending your loan term (to reduce monthly repayments). Each involves trade-offs. Fixing locks in your rate but removes flexibility. Extending reduces repayments but increases total interest paid. We’ll model both options using your actual numbers before making a recommendation.

Annual Loan Health Check

Your mortgage should be reviewed at least annually. Lenders regularly release improved products and rates for new customers while existing borrowers remain on older, higher-rate products. Our annual loan health check identifies whether you’re still on a competitive rate, and whether any changes to your circumstances warrant a review of your overall structure.

Proactive Rate Reviews

When the RBA moves rates or lenders adjust their pricing, we proactively review your position and notify you of material opportunities to improve your rate or switch products. You shouldn’t need to chase your bank for a better deal — we do that for you as part of our ongoing service commitment.

A four-step process from initial review through to implementation and ongoing management.

1

Ongoing Monitoring

We continue to monitor your position annually and reach out proactively whenever a meaningful improvement opportunity arises.

Most borrowers with existing debt and property equity will have meaningful improvement opportunities available.

  • Sufficient equity in real property to support the consolidated or restructured facility
  • Demonstrated serviceability — income to meet new combined repayments
  • Satisfactory credit history (adverse credit considered on a case-by-case basis)
  • At least one existing debt or loan facility for review and management
  • Willingness to provide full financial disclosure — income, debts, assets, and liabilities
  • For investment loan restructuring: existing property portfolio with clear ownership structure

Practical answers to the debt consolidation and refinancing questions we hear most often.

Will consolidating my debt into my mortgage cost me more in the long run?

It can, if the consolidated debt is spread over a long remaining loan term without a plan to repay it faster. Credit card debt consolidated into a 25-year mortgage at a lower rate may still cost more in total interest than paying the card off aggressively over 3 years. We model both scenarios using your actual numbers and recommend the genuinely better outcome — even if that means not proceeding with consolidation.

What is the difference between a refinance and a restructure?

A restructure changes the terms, type, or structure of your existing loan(s) — without necessarily changing lenders. A refinance moves your loan from one lender to another, typically to access a lower rate, better product, or equity. Both can achieve cost savings, and the right approach depends on your specific circumstances, break costs, and the product available.

How much could I save by refinancing my mortgage?

Savings depend on your current rate, outstanding balance, remaining term, and the best available rate you qualify for. As a rough guide, a 0.5% rate reduction on a $600,000 loan over 25 years saves approximately $55,000 in interest — though your actual saving will depend on when and how extra repayments are made. We’ll produce a personalised comparison using your exact details.

Can I consolidate ATO debt into my mortgage?

In some cases, yes. ATO debt can be treated as a creditor liability and, where you have sufficient property equity, some lenders will allow ATO debt to be refinanced into a mortgage facility. This needs to be disclosed in your application and the ATO payment plan cleared as a condition of the new facility. We’ll advise on lenders who will consider this type of refinance.
