Is Your Fixed Rate Ending? A 90-Day Plan

The rate you roll onto is rarely the best on offer. Start planning three months out.

90 days out

Find your fixed expiry date and the rate your lender will revert you to. Update your income and expense details and gather recent payslips or financials in case you refinance.

60 days out

Ask your lender for their best retention offer and compare it across the panel. Decide whether to refix, split fixed and variable, or go fully variable based on your plans for the property.

30 days out

If moving lenders, lodge the application now so settlement lands as close to the expiry date as possible. Settling before expiry can trigger break costs; settling well after means paying the revert rate.

On the day

Confirm your new rate and repayment, set up offset accounts, and diarise the next review.
