Client’s Challenge

Sarah, a valued client, found herself overwhelmed by the complexity of managing multiple repayments for various funding sources. The sheer volume of payments was not only causing her stress but also raised concerns about the potential impact on her credit score and overall financial health.

How We Helped

Thorough Property Evaluation: Our first step was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Sarah’s property. The valuation revealed a significant equity of over $200,000, offering a promising opportunity for debt consolidation.

Lender Negotiation: With Sarah’s financial goals and circumstances in mind, we meticulously assessed her serviceability with several lenders. Through negotiations, we secured competitive rates that aligned with her needs and financial objectives.

Efficient Debt Consolidation: Leveraging the available equity and the favorable rates negotiated, we guided Sarah through the process of refinancing with a new lender. This strategic move allowed us to consolidate all her existing debts into a single, more manageable repayment structure, facilitated through a residential mortgage.

Outcome

Simplified Repayment Structure: Sarah transitioned from managing multiple repayments to making just one monthly payment, reducing administrative hassle and the risk of missed payments.

Monthly Savings: Consolidating Sarah’s debts and refinancing her mortgage, led to significant monthly savings of $2,154, providing Sarah with more financial flexibility.

Enhanced Financial Well-being: With streamlined repayments and reduced financial stress, Sarah experienced an overall improvement in her financial health, empowering her to plan for a more secure future.
