      Learn how a comparison rate works and why you shouldn't care about them on a fixed rate loan. Not saying it's a good/bad deal but you're barking up the wrong tree with your reasoning.

      • MorriJ on 01/07/2024 - 22:06
        +1

        The CR is a valid source of concern. Some people on a fixed loan will look at the refinancing costs before skipping a lender and this CR is high as their standard variable rate is 8.39% at the moment meaning for years 3-25 on a 2 year fixed is at 8.39% at today's rate.

        If a CR is absurdly high, its always worth considering why it is so high - whether that's fees or rates, it's all relevant.

        If someone were to take this loan fixed for 2 years; they would want a degree of certainty their financial situation is not going to change before they are looking to refinance etc.

        Fixed, variable or otherwise, CR has its place for consideration. High CRs are problematic on fixed rate mortgages if the underlying loan rates it reverts to are hefty and should be considered by someone seeking the loan.

        • thestig on 01/07/2024 - 22:45

          The CR uses the standard variable rate without a discount applied, which no one should ever be on.
          (My current lender has a standard variable rate almost 3% higher than my actual variable rate.)

          If you're not wanting to change lender at the end of the fixed rate then consider the discounted standard variable rate offered, not the CR on the fixed rate. Maybe look at the CR for the discounted standard variable rate if you want a really rough idea of fees. I still maintain the CR on a fixed loan is a completely invalid source of concern.

    • tobia on 01/07/2024 - 15:39

        The CR is simply a comparison rate - similar to unit of measure for shopping. It's calculated against a $150k loan over 25 years. This offers a low interest rate and charges fees each year for the product. Years 3-25 on the comparison rate calculation are done at the % rate the loan will revert to (8.39% or something like that with BOC).

        It's high because their underpinning rates are very high and a nice topper of a few hundred a year in account fees.

    Each to their own, but no way would I switch to a fixed rate now. All of the experts have been forecasting rates will begin to come down late 2024 - early 2025, albeit slowly and nowhere near pre-covid rates anytime soon. Locking yourself into (FROM) 6% for up to 5 years would be nuts.

    • AssociatedWilson Heroes HL @ Heroes Home Loans on 01/07/2024 - 11:40

      Fair enough. I think personally the rates will most likely be increase between now to sometime at the end of this year. I think potentially in the next two meetings they will increase by 0.25% because of the higher inflation figures that come through last month

      • aja12 on 01/07/2024 - 11:44

        They may do, but we’re at the pointy end of the worst of it before we start seeing some relief. We’re going to see more decreases than increases over the next few years.

          Mate, who are you listening too, Labor media?? We are in a world of hurt and only starting to hit the bay days.

          The increase in immigration was the worst thing this useless Government could have done to this Country. The inflation that this has and will cause is crazy, just give it a few more months (if that) to feel the full affects of this.

          I would be grabbing fixed with both hands, but just my view!

                @BatmanAU: Immigration is the only thing stopping the country from sliding into a recession and seeing a fall in house prices. It really depends on one's perspectives if that is a good or bad thing.

                • BatmanAU on 01/07/2024 - 15:03

                  @clubhonda: I’m not talking about recession, I’m talking about inflation and no inflation doesn’t necessarily trigger a recession.

                  Let’s revisit this topic towards the end of the year and see where we are at.

                  • clubhonda on 01/07/2024 - 18:37

                    @BatmanAU: I'm saying immigration is stopping us from going into a recession, I did not say that inflation triggers a recession. Persistent inflation can force the RBA to continually raise interest rates to the point where it triggers a recession, but our recessionary pressure is not directly caused by inflation.Causation is not correlation.

                    @chromium: Problem is those who want just a roof over their head are the most vulnerable to job losses and losing everything in a recession. Those with a few investment properties may need to offload a couple to shore up their cash, but is generally going to be ok. If you look at the current retail environment, those in the low to middle class have really pulled back on their spending, and only the recession-proof ultra-luxury is still going ok.

                      @clubhonda: those in the low to middle class have really pulled back on their spending, and only the recession-proof ultra-luxury is still going ok.

                      Not sure where you shop, but im seeing the absolute opposite. Even at work, you see the higher end earners bringing their lunches and now making coffees, the lower end, takeaway upon takeaway. But who knows, they may live with their folks, or from money, but good old Westfield near me is definitely flooded with the very lower end splashing cash

            • Siuto on 01/07/2024 - 14:19

              @tunzafun001:

              Simple as that.. we ARE getting a rate rise.

              Is it really that simple? Rate rises can slow discretionary spending sure, but how about non-discretionary spending? Rises on house prices, rents, energy, insurance, food etc are still high, how do rate rises squash this?

              I can only see further rate rises making a difference on these when more small businesses shut their doors (if they make their money off discretionary spending or if they have a business loan that they are struggling to pay off) and unemployment rate goes up. Only then people are forced to cut back on non-discretionary items because they don't have a job!

              • tunzafun001 on 01/07/2024 - 19:05

                @Siuto: Oh, if you are asking if I think rate rises are the way to go..then absolutely not

                But… It's what we use currently. So there is zero reason why rates won't rise.

              • ozbking on 01/07/2024 - 22:55

                @Siuto: Also, it’s dependent on the data coming out. It’s not like the RBA hasn’t been surprised by the quarterly data before…

        We priced in increases (100bps) when most of the media are reporting record low for the coming years. Now the guess is another 50bps this year before it goes flat the following year.

        Of coz, this is pure speculation as per all guesses on interest rate.

        • MorriJ on 01/07/2024 - 20:11

          If you did a 2 year fixed rate here at 5.99%, provided you weren't switching away from BOC at the end of the period and happy to wear a standard variable rate of 8.39% on years 3-25, you are getting the benefit of the cashback.

          If you went with upbank 2 year fixed rate at 5.85% it would revert to 5.95% on years 3-25 but you would be paying no exit fees staying with them but have no cashback.

          • Nalar on 01/07/2024 - 21:38

            @MorriJ: Yeah after all the negs, I don't think there's any reason I'd go for BOC over a local neo bank. But thanks for clarifying the logic.

    • MorriJ on 01/07/2024 - 20:05

      BOCs Standard Variable is high around 8.39% or something stupid right?
      Isn't that why the CR is so high - 5.99% first year, 8.39% years 2-25.

      The CR is done over 25 years and cost of fees is also weighted into the % calculation; but it's sitting around 0.01% percentage adjustment or something small.
      Presuming you are only staying with them for the period of the fixed interest period and leaving or seriously negotiating the % afterwards, you only need worry about your 2 year break costs etc.

    my fixed period is ending in a month, and my existing lender (ING, been using them for 20+ years) and their comparison rate is 8.3% so same as BOC

    • Siuto on 01/07/2024 - 14:09

      But isn't that the point? Why jump through hoops to refinance with BOC when you can have the same or better rates at other financial institutions?

        Do they also offer cashback?

    Comparison rate is the equivalent of buying Domino's pizza without vouchers. Who actually does it? Lol

    Comparison rate of 8.3% is NOT a bargain.

    • io on 01/07/2024 - 16:07

      Just stay with them for two years. The comparison rate does not apply then.

    This is not a deal, just shameless self promotion.

    I wish I can neg bank of china 10 times. The worst lender of all. Please consider 100 negative votes from me. Absolutely horrendous lender. They should not even allowed to operate in this country. I made the biggest mistake of refinancing my loan to them. There are better brokers out there that Wilson from heroes loan. He mentioned to me his disappointment with Bank of China service and Procedure and now putting a deal to dupe fellow Ozbargainers. Please stay away from Heroes home loans and Wilson

    Having gone through the BoC remortgage experience earlier, with another mortgage broker, I would advise against it. The broker themselves were fine, very upfront (regarding timelines) and assisted a lot, without them I would have given up within a month. It took roughly 5 months from Go to Woe with them, sooooo slow, repeating requests for documents, ignoring common sense options. I'm convinced that there are language issues, I'm convinced that if I was a Chinese person in Oz the whole process would be done in a month (no evidence, just an opinion). It got to the point where I just revised all my previous options and ended up staying with my current provider and negotiated a discount with them. Yes, the BoC offer got Approved, but then we had to send documents to another group who were 'representing' BoC in Oz. Nope, Never, No how, No way.

    Was not really smooth experience with this broker. And looks like the cash back is from BOC.

    There's an awful lot of information and documentation required!
