Why should I refinance?

Circumstances change and refinacing 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 rateable or property value when you refinance.
  • If the property value is higher than the rateable value, then the rateable value will be used.
  • 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.
  • The cost of refinancing a current Íslandsbanki mortgage is ISK 59,000
  • Other costs are in accordance with the price list at any given time.
