Questions
Common questions, straight answers.
Can my parents help me buy in Willoughby?
Possibly, through a family guarantee or a gift. Each has risks for the family member, so they should get their own legal advice.
Is refinancing worth it with higher repayments?
It can be, because small rate differences can add up. We weigh any saving against switching costs before suggesting anything.
