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?

I can’t recommend my mortgage broker Jessica Southerwood and the UNO team highly enough. From start to finish, they made what felt like an overwhelming process so much easier for me. They took the time to truly understand my situation and worked tirelessly to refinance my Investment home loan and consolidate debts into a structure that actually works for me and my family. Not only did they secure us a great rate, but they also gave us clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward with our finances. Their communication was outstanding throughout and always available to answer questions and explain things in a way that made sense. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I am now in a much stronger financial position and can focus on what matters most for our family. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers results, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jess and the UNO team. Thanks again.

After owning my property for a few years undertaking substantial house renovations I found myself in a situation where I had run out of cash to finish due to rising building costs at the time. I wanted to refinance to free up equity from my home to ultimately finish my house renovations and give me an extra cash buffer. I honestly thought it would be out of reach for me and the sole home owner and was going to be pretty much impossible. However, Mike Parsons from Uno Home Loans found a way to make it happen. He was incredibly thorough and really took the time to explore every option instead of just going with the obvious ones, which made a huge difference to me in the end. Not only that, he also kept me in the loop the whole way through— always checking in, explaining things clearly, what the next steps would and generally made the whole process feel way less stressful than I expected. Thanks to Mike, I was able to free up equity when I didn’t think it was on the cards at all. This has since allowed me to complete some more home improvements which is not only a great feeling but has added more value to my home and my living situation in general. On top of that it has also provided me the extra comfort of having additional cash to support rising monthly living costs. If you want someone who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile to get you a result, then Mike Parsons is your man! I cannot recommend him enough!

Complex self-employed deal done incredibly fast. I’m a commercial finance broker myself and have dealt with a lot of brokers. Scott is easily the best I’ve come across. My situation involved multiple businesses and low documentation, which is usually where things get messy, slow, and dragged out. Scott handled it seamlessly. He knew exactly how to structure everything from the start and was clear on what would be needed at each stage, which meant no unnecessary back and forth with the lender. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and far quicker than I expected given the complexity. If you’re self-employed and want someone who actually understands how to get these deals approved without the usual headaches, I’d strongly recommend reaching out to him.
