    • How so? This is a limited time special from the bank supported by a cash back offer from us.

      • How so?

        Can get cheaper home loan.

        • Which bank? From our panel it is the cheapest 5 year option.

        • +1

          @jv: Ok the cheaper option then for a 5 year fixed rate?

  • +2

    Thats not bad for 5 years fixed - the annual fee puts me off though

    • Hopefully the first year being waived and the cash back from us, which will cover the rest of the package fees, will help.

      The below link provides further details on the package offering:

        It wouldn't be enough to draw me personally from my online lender Ubank but if i was with the big 4 or someone who prefers branch level service then i'd you probably couldnt find a better fixed deal for a tier 1 or tier 2 lender.

    Is there any exit fee?

    • The discharge fee is $350, there may also be break costs involved if the fixed rate loan is paid out early.

    • any exit fee?

      one of many fees…

      read their fine print…

      • Many exit fees? All banks are required to disclose potential fees in their fee brochure.

        Here is a copy of the fees guide:
        https://www.suncorp.com.au/content/dam/suncorp/bank/document…

        • All banks are required to disclose potential fees

          And many don't charge exit fees too…

        • +1

          All banks are required to disclose potential fees

          Why don't you mention all the fees in your post above?

          You seem keen to push the cashback, but don't disclose the fees that basically take the cash back.

        • @jv: Apologies for not including the fee guide in the original post mate, I have posted it above for your reference.

        • @jv: Discharge fees are commonly charged by banks when removing a charge over a title, from my experience I would not say many don't charge the fee.

        • @CapeFin:

          Apologies for not including the fee guide

          I'm referring to posting the actual fees in your post, not a link to a guide with more fine print.

          People can then read the guide if they think this 'might' be an option for them, rather than waste their time.

        • @CapeFin:

          I would not say many don't charge the fee.

          I would.

        • @jv: What actual fees was I not posting?

        • @CapeFin:

          "lending criteria and fees and charges apply."

        • @jv: Yes and I posted the package fee is $375, this includes the application and valuation fee. There may be additional fees (eg if you have a guarantor) but that will not be applicable to everyone and is something to be discussed with people actually interested in this offer and how it would suit their individual circumstances.

    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.

    If this is Fixed rate, why there is a fine print about the rate change? Because Loan settlement may take time..

    • +1

      Because the offer is only available for 3 weeks at this stage, if your loan was to settle after that time (which it most likely would) then you would be looking at the fixed rate available on the day of settlement if not rate locked. This option is not required on the variable offers mentioned.

      why there is a fine print about the rate change?

      so they can charge you more fees…

  • +2

    Not a fan of package fees. Why can't banks just offer a low rate with an offset without a package fee?

    CapeFin - why are the CR rates quite high?

    • Because of the interest rate that the fixed rate loan reverts to and also the relatively small ($150k) loan size the comparison rate is based on. After the fixed rate matures we will negotiate with the bank or provide other lender offers in the market.

      Not all the offers have the package fee though, the Back to Basics variable special at 3.68% does not need to be packaged.

      • +1

        the Back to Basics variable special at 3.68% does not need to be packaged

        But no offset.

        Good deal nonetheless.

        • That is correct, it does offer unlimited extra repayments and a redraw facility. For a variable offset loan you would need to look at the variable package option.

      • The usual "bank bullshit" … after 5 years you are back to the drawing board. They will revert you back on the highest rate possible and hope that you can't refinance. Why can't it just revert back to the best variable offer.

        • Agreed! It seems like more of a risk they will have existing clients shop around rather than just give them a good offer to reward loyalty

        • -1

          @CapeFin: Unfortunately all banks do it (at least I don't know any other example). But as the costs are high to swap over and it's time-consuming they get away with it. So it always depends on your personal situation. When you think you will have no problems to refinance it's no big deal to take up such an offer … but I hate how they lure in first timers and then sting them later.

  • +1

    Should it be valid 'deal' for refinancing as well?

    • Yes you can refinance as well on this offer.

  • +1

    Pretty good for 5 years

    I just fixed a 2 year one only at 3.8% with ANZ

    • Is that Variable or Comparison rate?

      • i'm not sure, it's a promotion they kicked off

        fixed 2 years, 3.8 / 3.88, one or the other still a good rate

          comparison rate (2 year fixed)8

        • +1

          @Ninjabredman: The offer is still current from ANZ and NAB has a similar offer (3.88% fixed for 2 years with P&I repayments on investment or owner occupied loans) with a bonus 350K NAB points

  • +1

    Hi OP, I noted that the offer is for owner-occupier. Am looking for a better deal for my two existing loans - one owner-occupier and one investment. Any suggestion?!

    • Have sent you a PM

  • +1

    How is this compare the the auswide 3 years 3.69 fixed?
    Looking to refinance my homeloan at the moment

    • It depends on your strategy over the next 3 - 5 years and where you think interest rates will be at that time, feel free to shoot me a PM if you would like to have a chat about the options.

  • +1

    Does suncorp waives LMI for Doctors if borrowing is more than 80%? I am looking at refinance…!
    Thanks

    • Not that I am aware of, I will check and let you know if they are able to.
