Topping Up Your Mortgage
Topping up your mortgage allows you to borrow more money in addition to your home loan, using the equity you have in your property or the amount you have already paid off.
There are many valid reasons why you might be looking to pull some equity out of your property to use elsewhere. Our team can assist you in talking with the banks regarding your financial position and serviceability.
Benefits of a Mortgage Top-up
A note about mortgage top-ups for debt consolidation:
For most situations, using a mortgage top-up to consolidate your short term debt isn’t recommended since it encourages you to get into more debt on depreciating assets. For a strong financial foundation, we recommend eliminating short-term debt and saving toward purchases instead.
