    I have an investment loan circa $420k which was taken out December 2014. Property worth around $430k.

    It was WPAC Family-Pledge loan and has a limited secured guarantee of $100,000 on my parents PPOR.

    Is this loan able to be refinanced to another lender?

    Yes. But what is it worth now? Need to keep the LVR under 80% or LMI - or another family pledge.

    What's the reason for the refi?

    I assume the loan is variable.

    Start of by doing a valuation on the property to see where you stand.

    If your sub 80%, that is if the property is worth somewhere above 525k or you've paid some of the loan down, than you have a wide array of refinance options available to you.

    If you do find your below 80%, a loan restructure or refinance is a good idea - its probably a good idea to remove your parents security off while you can. You can do this with Westpac or another lender.

    Whats the reason your looking to refinance? Is it rate focussed?

    Cheers,
