Is Making a Lump Sum Payment Off Your Mortgage Worthwhile?
If you are like many people, there will be occasions in your life where fortune favours you, and you are in possession of funds that you do not need to cover your immediate financial commitments.
What to do with these excess funds, often presents a quandary for those unused to being in such a position.
Unfortunately, many such people when placed in this situation, make poor decisions and don’t take advantage of their good fortune for their longer-term benefit.
As a Melbourne Mortgage Broker, we know that one of the best things that you can to if you do have surplus funds at any stage of the period in which you are paying off a mortgage, is to use the surplus funds to make a lump sum payment against your mortgage.
Any Mortgage Advisor in Melbourne who is accredited to act as a Melbourne Mortgage Broker, will tell you that the benefits of doing so are substantial. These benefits include;
- Significant savings in the total amount of repayments that you will make over the life of your mortgage,
- Marked reduction in the number of future months in which you will need to find funds for mortgage repayments,
- Opportunity to become mortgage free prior to retirement, and
- Ability to eventually use the funds then no longer needed for mortgage payments, for making other investments, to secure your long-term future.
