Paying off your mortgage early will save you money and take a financial load off your shoulders. Here are some ways to get rid of your mortgage debt faster.

Switch to fortnightly payments

If you're currently paying monthly, consider switching to fortnightly repayments. By paying half the monthly amount every two weeks you'll make the equivalent of an extra month's repayment each year (as each year has 26 fortnights).

Self-employed borrowers often come up against the challenge of not being able to present a raft of payslips and tax returns to back up their loan applications, but this need not stop you buying your dream home.

If it is time to refinance or you are moving on to your next home we have plenty of options to maximise your savings. As well as achieving the best interest rate, service is important before and after the fact.

Why is it that some lenders actually get praise by borrowers and others are so unpopular?
