Fixed Rate Home Loan Special 3.74% for 3 Years + Annual Package Fee Cash Back on Own Occ Loans @ Cape Finance

230

A bank who has not allowed us to openly name them (which seems to be a common theme at the moment), have a limited time special fixed rate for owner occupied loans at 3.74% for 3 years. Please send us an email for full details of this offering.

This is a brick and mortar bank rather than a smaller online lender, so you will have access to branches and an ATM network. We expect the offer to be available for a week or two.

In the spirit of OZBargaining, we are prepared to also cover the $375 annual package fee for the length of the fixed rate period if you decide to use Cape Finance to help arrange the loan and the minimum total lend is $500k. Your annual fee rebate will be paid within 60 days of settlement.

They also have the following additional discounted rates on offers:
Owner occupied
Variable basic 3.73% (CR 3.74%)
Variable package 3.84% (CR 4.23%)
Fixed 2yr/3yr 3.74% (CR 4.7%)

Investment
Variable basic 4.17% (CR 4.18%)
Variable package 4.19% (CR 4.57%)
Fixed 2yr 4.04% (CR 5.32%)
Fixed 3yr 4.14% (CR 5.26%)

Each comparison rate is based on loan size $150k over 25 years

Please email [email protected] to find out more about this offer.

The followings terms for the fixed rate offer have been communicated:
- P&I repayments preferred owner occupied
- Maximum LVR 90% (inc LMI)
- Establishment fee waived as part of member package
- Valuation fee waived as part of members package
- Credit card and offset account included as part of members package
- Minimum loan size $150,000

*no offset available on fixed rate loan

We strongly suggest utilising the 'rate lock' option to secure this rate at the time of application - cost is 0.15% of the loan amount (min $600). If you do not rate lock then you will be eligible for the fixed rate on the day your loan settles.

    The guy I spoke to last time was great, someone I know needed help and I referred her. She hasn't refinanced yet but she wants to go with him

    • Thanks for the feedback mate

    Does this lender accept USD income?

    • I have sent you a PM to discuss your situation

    Can vouch for OP. Great service, good product.

    • Thanks mate

    What's the difference between investment basic and package?

    • The home plus adds features like an offset, no monthly fee on all loans in the package, credit card of your choice, no establishment fee, free transaction account.

  • +1

    Does the credit account come with a VISA, MC or Amex?

    • It's Visa as far as I am aware.

    I don't really think this is in the spirit of Ozbargain. A broker is spruiking a product that he will not identify. I will suggest many brokers can offer something similar.

      Thanks for the feedback mate. We were specifically told by the bank that we could not directly advertise who was offering it, this is an under the table offer through the broker channel as far as I am aware.
      The spirit of Ozbargain was us offering to pay the annual fixed rate package fee during the life of the fixed rate, may not appeal to all.

        I'm liking the "under table" hush hush secretive tones … Ughhhh suspense killing me!!!!!!

        In the meantime for fellow ozbargainers who's obsessed with rates, try Reduce Home Loans (http://www.reduceloans.com.au). The "spirit of ozbargain" in me also sharing the love ;-)

        And no, I don't work for them lot.

        • The 3 year fixed rate there is 3.92%

        • @CapeFin:

          And their comparison rate is 3.95%, what's yours?? 4.7%??

        • @LurvinOZB: Yes but the deal here is the 3 year fixed rate (or one of the variable offers). After 3 years the bank has the chance to offer a better rate and we will also present the best offers in the market as a comparison.

          The 'comparison rate' is based on a relatively small loan size of $150k and assumes it is paid off over 25 years. You can have a play with an online calculator to see how comparison rates are determined (eg https://reiwa.com.au/advice/calculator-tools/comparison-rateā€¦). Things like an annual fee will have a big impact at that loan size.

        • -1

          @CapeFin:

          Ok. Isn't the purpose of Comparison Rates meant to dispel salesman talk and out forth facts, hence putting a fixed scenario of $150k over what you mentioned a 25 yrs term so consumers can actually compare apple to apple?

          So from what you are saying, should we ignore the comparison rates because they don't apply here?

          And assume if we ignore the value of comparison rates; to compare with Reduce if we purely only look at percentages, is it true that all other Reduce products have lower rates with the exception of the 3.74% 3 yrs fixed?

        • @LurvinOZB: What I am saying is the comparison rate needs some common sense applied. That comparison rate is based on a smaller loan size ($150k) and assumes the borrower pays off the loan over the full 25 years with full fees. We are covering the fees during the fixed rate promotion and will be reviewing the loan after that time. I suggest having a play with the calculator I sent in my previous comment to understand this further.

          The variable rates in my post are from a brick and mortar bank rather than an online lender, I would also suggest the lender in your link includes additional margins for loans over a certain size. Each to their own mate, this offer won't suit everyone.

        • @CapeFin:

          So what are all the fees associated with your offer?

        • @LurvinOZB: It will depend which product option you take up.
          The fixed rate offer has an annual package fee for $375 which we ensure you will not pay during the fixed rate period. This covers the application fee, standard valuation fee and ongoing loan fee. You will also have a government mortgage fee which varies depending what state you are in and a discharge fee from your current lender. If you would like to email us [email protected] we can have a chat about your situation in private.

        • @CapeFin: Just to add. When it comes to fixed rates, the comparison rate is flawed, because when the fixed rate expires, what variable rate is then applied? This is not revealed, and I suspect some providers use the current standard variable rate, while some use the discounted rate. The 'default' rate that applies after the fixed rate period skews the real comparison rate that applies during the fixed rate period.

          For fixed rates, there should be a (form of) comparison rate specific for the period of the fixed rate period, and then maybe one for the full term.

          Why this is allowed to prevail, I don't know. I feel sorry for the people who make decisions based on this, especially when they are told that the 'comparison rate' is the only true way to compare rates.

    Can these loans be pre-approved and will the rates stay the same during the pre-approval period?

    • +1

      Usually only the fixed amount if you rate-lock (will be a fee and only if lender has that option)

    • I will need to check and get back to you. If available then you will be able to 'rate lock' a fixed rate loan for 90 days, needs to settle in this time.

    • This offer is unfortunately not available for pre approvals

  • +1

    What is your variable rate for owner occupied home loan with offset account please?

    • The rate would be 3.84%, you can split this with a fixed rate portion as well.

      • +1

        With no package fee?

        • The offset account comes with the package product with an annual fee of $375

  • +1

    Does this loan with offset…

    • Not on the fixed rate portion, the package variable options do.

  • +2

    We strongly suggest utilising the 'rate lock' option to secure this rate at the time of application - cost is 0.15% of the loan amount

    So on a 800k loan you are looking at $1200 upfront cost just to lock in a rate advertised…

    • Unfortunately given this is a very limited time offer, the loan would unlikely settle before the fixed rate changes so you would be getting the rate at settlement date instead. We have another offer up at an alternate lender with a cash rebate (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/299387), that could help offset the rate lock fee.

    Can vouch for OP as have dealt with them with previous deal. Was very helpful with all the details. Did not take the offer with them as I was able to get my current broker to match the terms.

    • Thanks Mike, you ended u with a good deal
