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 honestly couldn’t recommend Jake de Ruyter more highly! From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing. He made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand. His communication was excellent, he was incredibly quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and messages. No matter what we asked, he got back to us straight away and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process feel so much less stressful. Thank you for such an outstanding experience!

I contacted Uno on a whim about refinancing a small loan. Once I was in communication with Mike Parsons, I knew I was in safe hands. He was patient throughout the process and I appreciated his personalised, purposeful and professional service, especially the following up when it was required. Mike also comes highly recommended for his knowledge.

I highly recommend Mike Parsons from Uno Home Loans. He is a clear, patient communicator who made the complex loan application and settlement process easy to understand. Mike is very thorough and reassuringly meticulous with documentation. He was generous with his time, always prompt with answers, and handled multiple applications and extensions for us seamlessly, while giving useful advice on loan options along the way, even if it meant more work for him. Most importantly, Mike secured us a great loan when other brokers couldn't. I’ve already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. The best broker I have used out of the several i have interacted with.

We can’t recommend Paul highly enough. He truly went above and beyond for us and made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and manageable. Paul’s communication was clear and honest from the start. He was straight up about everything, provided us with a clear list of what we needed to supply, and then took care of the rest. He was transparent throughout the entire process and always took the time to answer our questions — no matter how big or small. As first-home buyers purchasing in a new country, we were nervous going in, but Paul made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We felt supported every step of the way and genuinely appreciated his professionalism and guidance. Very appreciative of everything Paul did for us — we couldn’t have done it without him.

Mike was recommended to us by a friend and exceeded expectations. He was extremely informative, patient, and flexible, and made our first home purchase a smooth experience. Beyond securing a great rate, the real value was how he managed all communication between solicitors, lenders, and other parties. This made settlement seamless and was incredibly helpful for us as time-poor buyers. Highly recommend.
