    I work for a builder and we have a lot of million dollar units that are to be built. We have priced in 7 star into the build. How can our clients qualify when they have not been built yet? And would need finance to get started.

      Good question @KorbanDallas - I will get back to you with an answer once I have confirmed with the chosen 3rd party mortgage broker http://www.melbourneloansandfinance.com.au/

      The borrower needs to be granted a Certificate when the dwelling is finalised (Nathers) paid by the borrower ($180).

      All loans to qualify are subject to regular prime lending policies as per a normal home loan:
      • Owner Occupied Residential Property
      • Clean Credit file
      • Full Documentation to verify Income & servicing
      • Strong Mortgage Payment History (if a refinance)

    Great deal, but tempted to neg (I won't) due to the description leaving out important details, that mean most properties are ineligible, even if they meet the 7 star criteria:

    "for homes built after 31 December 2018"

    • RubenM on 18/04/2020 - 12:45
      +2

      Edit: Never mind me, that's just one of the ways to qualify.

      Not sure your company link should be in the description though, as you're not offering a deal.

      • Employeeekoenergy @ Eko Energy on 18/04/2020 - 13:00

        Thanks, as with most mortgage lenders they have their own eligibility criteria and its more onerous with this unique product that is driven by Bank Australia's environmental responsibility mission (https://www.bankaust.com.au/responsible-banking/planet/)

        I have removed @ekoenergy company link in the title. We are working closely with the chosen 3rd party mortgage broker http://www.melbourneloansandfinance.com.au/ to deliver the necessary clean energy upgrades needed to get this exclusive rate for clients from Bank Australia.

    We are building our house at the moment and it’s 6star energy rated. Could you please let me know what needs to be done now…?

  • LittleTicket on 18/04/2020 - 12:49

    What sort of requirements would need to be made to existing homes?
    Double glazing? Insulation in roof space? Solar panels? Solar hot water? Recycled water for toilets?

    • Korban Dallas on 18/04/2020 - 13:07

      There is a website. Depends on your closest capital city. It's more building materials. Solar has nothing to do with it. Silly. But true.

    • Employeeekoenergy @ Eko Energy on 18/04/2020 - 13:10

      The full requirements needed to be made to existing homes are detailed in the Fact Sheet - https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3425759/myFolder/subFolder/Ba…

      I've copied and pasted the wording that would apply in this scenario (sorry for the formatting, easier to read in the link above):

      Property Upgrade criteria

      For the property securing the Customer Contract provide evidence that in the last 12 months:

      (a) achieved a minimum 1 star increase in improvement to the
      energy efficiency assessment as assessed by the Residential
      Efficiency Scorecard rating excluding any increase from the
      impact of installing solar photovoltaic system. Such assessment
      must be undertaken by an accredited assessor; or

      (b) implemented three or more of the below improvements in the
      last 12 months:

      i In-home real-time energy monitoring system such as
      Wattwatchers, Solaranalytics, Efergy, Smappee, Sense, Curb,
      Nuerio, Flukso, Reposit Power, etc.;

      ii Solar photovoltaic system with a minimum system size of 3kW;

      iii Energy storage system with a minimum system size of 5kWh;

      iv Hot water heat pump or solar hot water system;

      v Upgrade 75% or more of all windows by area to double-glazed
      and/or low-emissivity coatings;

      vi Upgrade underfloor, wall and ceiling insulation to levels set
      out in the prevailing National Construction Code;

      vii Electric vehicle home charging point and provide evidence of
      ownership of an electric vehicle;

      viii Upgrade to LED lights for 75% or more of all light fixtures;

      ix If the property is air conditioned, no air conditioning unit has
      an energy rating below 4 stars under the Minimum Energy
      Performance Standards; and

      x If the property has a pool, a pool pump with a minimum
      energy rating of 7 stars under the Voluntary Energy Rating
      Labelling Program.

      To get 7 star for existing home probably better smashing it to pieces and starting from ground zero. Last time I heard for already designed house (not build) the extra cost mean you better restarting the design from scratch. But I'm not if this deal requires existing housr to get equivalent to new built, if it does it is pretty much impossible financially

    This 'Bank Australia' mob seem to care more about pushing political/social agendas than anything else. I'd steer clear.

    • FutureTech on 18/04/2020 - 13:11

      This is very true. Those agendas usually come with a price tag - you will be paying for it one way or another.

  • FutureTech on 18/04/2020 - 13:11

    Would I qualify if I paint my house green? Technically also a "green upgrade"

      Everyone around you might be green with envy.

    For refinance, ANZ/NAB/St George with cashback still trumps this interest rate for fixed 2/3 years.
