Do you have clients 'locked into' a high interest LRBA within an SMSF or Trust that their lender is unwilling to reprice or refinance?

This is a situation that has received recent media attention due to major lenders being unwilling to reprice certain types of loans (LRBA's within SMSF and loans tied to properties held in trust), resulting in borrowers paying interest rates much higher than the market rate. This is a highly specialised area of finance and one that many brokers and lenders lack experience in, leaving borrowers seemingly 'stuck' with the original loan.

Partners Lending have many years of experience setting up trust loans and LRBA's within SMSFs and have the knowledge and networks to assist clients looking to refinance or renegotiate their loan terms.

If your client is paying more than 8% p.a. interest on an LRBA or Trust loan, we can help them refinance, potentially saving them thousands of dollars in interest per year.

The table below provides some recent real client examples of loans we have refinanced, saving clients hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

Loan amount	Old rate	New rate	Rate reduction	Monthly interest savings	Annual interest saving	Life of loan saving
$414,815	9.70%	7.19%	-2.51%	$648	$7776	$196,505
$319,000	9.87%	6.94%	-2.93%	$511	$6132	$139,503
$352,000	9.40%	7.44%	-1.96%	$432	$5187	$138,774
$346,500	9.80%	7.84%	-1.96%	$338	$4056	$121,342
