I have access to 35+ lenders on my panel. If the lender charges an application fee or annual fee we will pay it for you annually for balances over 400k net of offset. This is paid out of my commission from the bank you select. Slight edit - (Ive had some commentary below saying im not suggesting a lender).
Common times a lender charges an annual fee normally in the 299-395 bracket:
- Package loans with the big 6 banks
- Fixed loans
- Offset loans
Most application fees are between 100-300 dollars.
ING as an example 2.54% on owner occupied variable + offset with a 299 annual fee ongoing and 299 app fee. We cover both fees. So the comparison rate matches the actual rate given at 2.54%. Which is a very competitive offer.
Pre approval 2k rebate - Citibank
Ive been added onto a small list of brokers that has access to this offer. Loan size needs to be above 350k & 20% deposit is needed to qualify. Citibank has a 4 day sla so are quite quick and some great rates at the moment. They are the only bank im aware of doing a rebate for pre approvals.

Why am i avoiding the majors at the moment for pre approvals?
They are too slow. If you sign and make an offer on a property normally you have 5 days cool off with the option of another 5 days before you put your deposit down. You have this time to get from pre approved to formally approved. If you cant get it done in this time frame you now have a choice lose the property or put your deposit at risk without formal approval. ANZ 15+ days Westpac 25+ days CBA 15+ days NAB 8-10+ days.
How long does a pre approval last
3 months at most banks except Bankwest and CBA which is 6 months. All banks have the option to roll for another time period by updating payslips and bank statements. So its best to get a pre approval only you you are actively looking for property.
My experience 7 years in commsec and cba on a margin lending desk and as in in house cba branch home lender. Nearly 4 years as a mortgage broker running my own company.
Covid19 Hope everyone is going well in these times. Lenders are being conservative ie using less bonus comms and overtime to use for max borrowing power. They dont like casual work as much(some lenders), lower lvrs offered for self employed. Extra checks on self employed as well.

This is not a deal. Most brokers don't charge for application fee. As for 395 yearly fee, only applies for fixed home loans and banks like U bank and HSBC dont have them.
