Cut the cost of your mortgage!
Here are some tips for trimming the cost of your mortgage from our partners at Mortgage Express.
As a property owner, paying off your mortgage before you retire is important. Once you hit retirement age, the last thing you want is to still be saddled with debt. Here are some ways to help reduce your total mortgage and essentially help you pay less for your property.
Shorten your term
Reducing your mortgage term to 25, 20 or even 15 years shaves thousands of dollars in interest off the total. Even reducing it by one year can save you money.
For example, if you borrow $500,000 at 4.00% interest over 30 years, your interest on a principal and interest loan amounts to $359,348*. Shorten your mortgage term to 25 years and you reduce your total interest to $291,755*. Of course, this means your regular repayments will increase, so make sure your budget can accommodate this or you’ll need to alter your spending habits.
Make additional payments
If you can’t afford to shorten your mortgage term, keeping a portion of your mortgage on a variable rate or having a revolving credit mortgage, which works much like an overdraft, may be the answer.
Look out for refinancing deals
Look for refinancing offers with more flexibility or a better interest rate. Be sure to factor in any costs for refinancing when considering this option.
It’s worthwhile reviewing your mortgage on an annual basis to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Your mortgage specialist can do a financial health check and help you find savings.
If interest rates drop, keep repayments at your current level, rather than be tempted to spend the savings. By doing this, you’ll shave off a substantial portion of your loan principal.
Each product provider has different policies and costs around paying extra amounts off your loan, so get in touch with your local mortgage Express adviser to find out more. You’ll find additional tips and tools at mortgage-express.co.nz/mortgages or call 0800 226 226

Insurance Excessess
Recent changes to legislation regarding tenant liability under insurance claims, mean that if tenants or their guests carelessly damage a rental property, they are liable for the cost of the damage up to four weeks' rent or the landlord's insurance excess (if applicable), whichever is lower. This means that a landlord must disclose any insurance excesses on a tenancy agreement and provide a statement that a copy of the policy wording is available on request by the tenant.
Diane Nelson from Real Landlord Insurance says they have been fielding calls from throughout New Zealand from Landlords wanting to increase their insurance excesses (this bringing their premiums down).
However, they are concerned that many landlords won't of thought through the ramification of doing this, Most claims against building (house) insurance policies are for events (eg; fire, flood, water damage) that are not the result of tenant damage and therefore the landlord may find themselves in a poor position with having to pay the higher excesses they have nominated. This should be thought through very carefully before changing excesses and the landlord’s financial ability to be able to cover the excess payable.
