What are the current home loan cashback offers?
Cashback offers are still available through various banks when refinancing an existing loan or purchasing a property.
In this article, we detail all the current home loan cash back offers available on the market and help you work out whether you are eligible.
Refinance home loan cash back offers
It’s good to see that after the intense mortgage wars of 2023 where banks were throwing up to $4000 to customers to refinance their mortgage, that some of these offers are still available to absorb the usual discharge and government fees associated with refinancing a home loan.
On average, it will cost the customer approximately $700 to $800 to refinance their home loan. This cost is per property so if you have two or more properties that you are refinancing, it can easily add up to a couple of thousand dollars.
The cost of refinancing can discourage people apply for a lower rate due to the upfront costs involved, before they can start saving.
Below is a list of lenders and their refinance cashback offers currently avaiable with all the eligibility conditions.
Cashback offers will always have certain terms and conditions such as a minimum loan amount to qualify and the maximum LVR you can have on your loan.
Most banks have a requirement of at least $250,000 loan amount and your LVR is 80% or less.
You will also need to apply by a certain date and have the refinance settled by a certain date.
