Refinancing
Do you want to pay your mortgage faster or lower your monthly payments? Refinancing can be the sensible option when your circumstances change.
Why should I refinance?
Circumstances change and refinancing can often be the simplest way to make your money work harder. Perhaps interest rates have dropped since you took out your mortgage or you need to lower your monthly payments.
- We lend up to 70% of the real estate valuation when you refinance.
- It is possible to refinance a loan regardless of the mortgage in the case of refinancing an existing mortgage with Íslandsbanki.
- The loans can be indexed, non-indexed or hybrid.
- You should check the Terms and Conditions of the mortgage you wish to replace to see if you you will be required to pay a prepayment penalty.
- Other costs are in accordance with the price list at any given time.
