The signs of a healthy home loan

We can help you work out whether your current home loan deal is costing you too much in a moment – but first, here’s how much you could save.

Make sure you have a good rate

With the recent RBA announcement keeping the cash rate on hold at a historic low of 0.1%, now is the time to refinance. But never assume this means you automatically have your lender’s best rate, or the best rate on the market for that matter.

You can easily find out if you could be on a better rate and saving money by refinancing in just a few minutes, simply by

Make sure your signed up to receive notifications of rate changes

Don’t settle for the ‘set-and forget’ approach to your home loan. If you sign up to our loanScore and opt in for rate change notifications, we will send you an email every time your lender’s rate has changed so you can take action.

But it’s also so much more than this.

Think of loanScore as a free check-up for your home loan. It helps you understand whether your home loan is in good health. The lower your score, the higher the chance that you could save.

Getting your loanScore is super easy and only takes 2 minutes (less than the time it takes to blend a green juice!). All you have to do is:

  • Fill in your loan details
  • Get your loanScore
  • See how much you could save
  • Set a savings threshold for alerts
  • Take action easily

Take advantage of available home loan features

Does your home loan offer features like a mortgage offset account, which helps you pay less interest? Does it offer a redraw facility or even let you make additional payments on your home loan without being charged a fee?

Maybe you don’t have the features you need? There might be plenty of other products out there that will deliver, so why not shop around? Speak to one of our

Are you actively managing your home loan?

The answer is probably no – who has the time?

We do. In fact, that is all we do here at
. Our job does not stop when we refinance, renegotiate or settle a home loan for our customers. If we find opportunities where customers can save, our experienced brokers can help negotiate better deals for them. So, why not let us manage your home loan?

If you follow these easy check-up rules, you can be sure you’re never paying more than you should on your home loan, spending less time worrying about it (and more time at F45!).

Australians are on the whole a pretty health-conscious nation. Not just in the way we live and eat, but more so now as we all take steps to keep ourselves, our families and our loved ones safe and healthy during COVID-19.

But Aussies’ bodies aren’t the only thing we should treat as a temple that needs regular check ups — we should think the same way about our home loan.

Why? Because saving money on your home loan might be what allows you to actually buy a temple one day.

So we can all agree, we know what a healthy body looks like – but do you know what a healthy home loan looks like?

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from our broker Jessica Southerwood . From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely committed to helping us secure the right loan. She made the whole process straightforward and stress-free, explained everything clearly, kept us updated throughout and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We felt completely supported from start to finish and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and dedicated broker. Thank you so much for making what can normally be a stressful process such a smooth and positive experience! 🙏

UNO Home Loans is "ridiculously good" at what they do, if there is such a phrase. Very well versed in mortgages, and their level of professionalism, care and overall service is truly outstanding. They kept us well informed during all phases of our mortgage finance journey although they seemed to always be one step ahead! Nick Sharma and the crew, achieved the incredible task of getting us financed when no one else could, and what surprised me most, was at a very, very competitive market rate in comparison to other mortgage specialist or brokers. UNO went above and beyond, and exceeded all of our expectations. I could not have been happier with our outcome, thanks again UNO!

A massive thank you to Nathalie and her team. I've dealt with many brokers who will quickly throw their hands up and walk away if they think even a small issue will impact a deal. Not Nathalie! Not only will share compare different loans, she'll actually dig into the exact lending criteria and will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. She saved us literally thousands per month on our refinance! Thank you again guys, truly are the best!

Just wanted to take a moment to recommend Tim Lesina for anyone contemplating reverse mortgages. For many of us in our retirement years financial independence is uncharted territory, not to mention downright confusing. I contacted Tim just to enquire how this might work should I go down this path. Tim was so patient and understanding of both my limited understanding and my initial fears. He went above and beyond in factoring out different scenarios, with nothing being too much trouble. Moving forward with my reverse mortgage needs I will definitely be using Tim and cannot recommend him highly enough.
