What is refinancing?
Refinancing
– frequently asked questions about refinancing:
Refinancing is the process of borrowing money from a new creditor to pay off an existing debt. The goal of refinancing is often to get a better interest rate or a lower monthly payment on the debt.
Most people can refinance, as long as they have good credit and a stable income. However, it is worth noting that some types of debt, such as student loans, cannot be refinanced.
It is important to assess whether refinancing will be profitable for you, based on your financial goals and situation. You should compare the interest rate on your existing loan with the interest rate on a refinancing loan, and assess whether the difference in the interest rate will be large enough to make it worthwhile to refinance. You should also consider any fees that may be associated with refinancing and make sure you can afford them.
You can apply for refinancing through Eiendomsfinans via the form at the top of the page. You will usually need to provide information about your financial situation, including income, assets and existing debts.
Refinancing is not always profitable. If you have a low interest rate on your existing loan, you may not be able to get a better interest rate through refinancing. In addition, there may be fees associated with refinancing, which may make it not worthwhile to refinance even if you can get a better interest rate. It is therefore important to assess whether refinancing will be profitable for you, based on your financial goals and situation. We help you calculate this.
Yes, you can refinance an unsecured loan, such as a credit card debt or a consumer loan. However, it is worth noting that unsecured loans usually have higher interest rates than secured loans. Here you can also read more about refinancing unsecured loans by collecting small loans
Yes, it is possible to refinance a loan with a short repayment period, but you may not be able to get such a good interest rate on such a loan. This is because lenders usually require borrowers to have a longer repayment period to reduce the risk that the borrower will not be able to repay the loan.
Yes, you can refinance a mortgage. The aim of refinancing a home loan may be to get a lower interest rate, a shorter repayment period or to get a different type of loan, such as a fixed-rate loan, interest-free loan or home loan. Here you can read more about mortgage refinancing.
When you refinance, you pay off the existing debt with the money you borrow through the refinance. If you choose to refinance all the debt you have, the remaining debt will therefore be zero after the refinancing has been completed.
It may be more difficult to refinance a loan with a bad credit score, but it is not impossible. We help you apply for refinancing with a lender that offers loans to people with bad credit, but you must expect to pay a higher interest rate than usual. You may also need a guarantor to refinance your debt.
More information about refinancing
Refinancing is the process of getting a new loan to pay off existing loans. This can be done in your existing bank or by checking offers from other banks. Refinancing can be a good option if you want a bank with lower interest rates and fees, or if you need to increase the loan amount, for example to pay off credit debt or to renovate or build on. We can help you find a bank that suits your needs and wishes. A good tip when you get a new home loan is to set the mortgage document to the bank at a higher amount than the loan amount, so that it is easier to increase the loan amount later without having to submit a new mortgage document to the land registry.
Refinancing can be a good opportunity to reduce monthly loan costs or to pay off the loan faster. You may want to consider refinancing if you have a loan with a high interest rate, or if you have a loan with unfavorable terms, such as long terms or high fees.
To refinance a loan, you must first apply for a loan. Here you can apply for a loan via Eiendomfinans:
You must provide documentation of your finances, including income, assets and debts. The bank will then assess whether you are creditworthy and whether you meet their requirements for loan amount and term. If you are approved for the loan, you will receive a loan offer with information on the interest rate, fees and other conditions.
Once you have received the loan offer, we can assess together with you whether this is a good solution for you. If you accept the offer, the bank will then make an agreement with your existing bank to transfer your loan to them. When this is done, you will get a new loan from the new bank, and your existing loan will be paid off.
It is important to remember that refinancing can entail additional costs, for example an establishment fee and any cost to pay off the loan before maturity. It may therefore be a good idea to calculate whether it will actually be financially profitable for you to refinance your loan. An adviser at Eiendomsfinans can help you to assess whether refinancing is a good solution for you and to compare offers from different banks.
You can refinance loans in your existing bank, or you can let us check with several other banks what offers they can give you for refinancing. The process of refinancing is the same or almost the same at the vast majority of banks. You can refinance the same loan amount as you have today if you want a bank with lower interest and fees, or you can increase the loan amount. In cases where you want to “bake in” credit debt and small loans in the mortgage, or where you want to renovate/build on, you will need to increase the loan amount. We help you to optimize your loan application with banks that we think can suit your wishes and needs.
We explain refinancing with an example:
If you have a mortgage of 3 million and a mortgage document of 4 million, you can increase the loan amount up to 4 million without the bank having to take more security/mortgage in your home. A mortgage document is the actual confirmation of how much security the bank has in your home. If you then choose to increase the loan to 3.5 million because you have to change the roof and build a garage, then you almost only need to electronically sign a new promissory note. The payment can then be made within a couple of days. If you have 3 million in debt, a mortgage document of 3 million and want to increase it to 3.5 million, then the bank must create a new mortgage document of at least 3.5 million and submit it to the Mapping Authority for land registration. It usually takes a week.
