Loan scenario: The client had scaled back her work from full time to three days per week, and could not qualify for new borrowings. She had a few loans – some lower interest with a major bank and some with a second tier mortgage manager at 2% higher. She decided to sell one of her properties, which had loan with a major. 
 
The challenge: I realised that if she did that she would lose out on the lower interest loan.
 
Getting it over the line: I helped her do a partial discharge of one of the two titles at the mortgage manager. She then substituted that title for the one held at the major  - thus releasing the property to be sold as “unencumbered”. She then used the proceeds to pay down the higher interest mortgage manager loans whilst maintaining the lower interest loans.
