Our central bank will have been encouraged by recent better than expected unemployment and CPI numbers.

Rates are at a record low and lenders continue to offer very competitive rates. An AFG broker can answer your questions and look at your circumstances to make sure you’re prepared for what could be coming next. This could mean refinancing or approaching your lender for a better rate. Because an AFG broker does this type of work every day, they have a pretty good idea what lenders can do to win or keep your business.
We’re here to help if you have any questions. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with an AFG broker.
