BENEFITS
EXISTING HOME LOAN CUSTOMERS
Switching your bond involves moving your bond from your current bank to another financial institution. To qualify, you need a clear credit profile, be up-to-date with your bond and debt repayments, and have adequate funds to cover ongoing expenses and debt obligations.
A home loan is secured by a registered mortgage bond, a legal agreement between the borrower and the lender. This bond acts as collateral for the loan and is officially recorded with the Deeds Office. It ensures that the lender has a claim over the property in the event of non-payment, providing security for the loan and formalizing the transaction.
Why switch your bond?
- Lower Interest Rates: Take advantage of reduced market rates for a lower interest rate, cutting monthly payments and overall costs.
- Access Equity: Unlock your home's value with cash-out refinancing to fund home improvements, education, or other financial goals while enhancing property value.
- Debt Consolidation: Combine high-interest debts, like credit cards, into your mortgage for lower interest rates and easier payments. Extra cash flow can help shorten your home loan term through additional payments.
At DEBT2BOND, we simplify reassessing your home loan, prioritizing your financial health.
Unlock savings and better terms today.

PRE-ASSESSMENT & SUBMISSION PROCESS
Before applying for a home loan, a pre-assessment ensures a smooth process.
- Credit Check: A clean credit report with no adverse listings boosts your application success.
- Affordability Check: DEBT2BOND will assess your income, debt, and living expenses to determine affordability.
- Application Process: DEBT2BOND submits, motivates, and follows up with multiple banks. Once approved in principle, a property valuation is conducted. If sufficient, a Final Approval is issued, including homeowners insurance, and registration instructions are sent to attorneys.
- Credit check warning: Avoid taking on new debt or maximizing credit, as it may jeopardize the application during final credit checks.
- Important: If you plan to use funds from your home loan for major purchases, debt consolidation, or shortening your bond term, we suggest making extra payments to quickly reduce the capital amount. The exact amount will vary based on the current variable interest rate for your home loan.
COSTS
- Initiation Fee: This fee is charged by the new financial institution upon approval of your application. It can be paid in cash or, more commonly, added to the capital amount of your bond.
- Registration Cost: This is the fee charged by the attorneys appointed to register your new bond, calculated based on the registered bond amount.
- DEBT2BOND Professional Fee: This fee applies only to successfully approved & accepted home loans and is deducted from the proceeds on the date of registration. If your home loan application is not approved, there will be no charge. DEBT2BOND prioritizes transparency and client-focused service, ensuring fees are only incurred upon successful approval. We do not require any upfront payments, making the bond application process as affordable and stress-free as possible.
BOND REGISTRATION PROCESS
After your home loan application is approved by the financial institution and you accept the offer, the process proceeds as follows:
- Instruction to Registration Attorney: Upon accepting the Final Approval, the registration attorneys are instructed to initiate the registration of the new "switched" bond. They will liaise with the existing bank’s cancellation attorneys to cancel the current bond.
- Document Signing: Once all conditions of the new bond are satisfied, the registration attorneys will contact you to sign the required documents. After signing, they will prepare the paperwork for lodgement at the Deeds Office.
- Deeds Office Registration: The bond registration typically takes 7–14 business days after lodgement, provided all conditions are fulfilled. Once registered, the attorneys will disburse funds from the new bond to settle the existing bond, cover costs, fees, and any specified accounts.
- Confirmation Letter: The new financial institution will issue a confirmation letter detailing repayment terms once the bond is registered.
