5.01% Home Loan, as Good as It Gets One Week Only

31

I hope someone is out looking for a home loan. This is variable rate but too sweet to pass. $300,000 house 80% loan ($240,000)will come as cheap as 300 per week.
When you think cheapest rents this loan stands out very well.
I was told this promotion will be ending 22 April. Good luck…

      • didn't think they where allowed to do discharge fees anymore - or was it exit fees… and whats the difference between the two, anyone know? and what's the go with the valuation fee… if they are 80% and they value your house so that you cant get the loan you still have to pay 220? WTF?

  • @rep, do you have any loans for 90% LVR?

  • +2

    Just got a home loan last week at 4.99% from Commonwealth

    • If you don't mind me asking Wampus, what was your LVR on that loan?

      • Mine was 95% for CBA, I got the same loan just before Easter

    • hi Wampus, hope you dont mind if I ask, is your loan fixed?

    • +2

      is 4.99% comparison rate? i have a feeling the comparison rate will be around 6%…

      • my bet is it's an intro rate and will jump after 2 years
        edit: cba lists 4.99% for 2 years, with 6.09% comparison rate

    • Well, they are pretty clever with playing figures, aren't they?

      • yeah, just have to compare comparison rates.

  • +1

    All the banks where doing 4.99% fixed a few weeks ago CBA, Westpac

  • Your calculator is broken…

  • +1

    the rate is 5.01 not 5.1 might want to fix the title?
    there is $220 valuation fee + $75 settlement fee then no fees after that
    i've been with loans.com.au since they had the 5year "move with rba" deal which has been great!

    • I am sorry, Yes it should be 5.01.
      Thank you.
      When it comes to interest rate every bit counts.

    • Thats true. Dont think they will come with such offer again ever.

  • can't buy much with $300,000

    • country side probably

      300k will get you a nice 3 bedder in a decent Suburb around Newcastle (Shortland, Wallsend, Waratah, Elemore Vale and some parts of Kotara)

      300k in Sydney wont get you much though.

  • -1

    Great!

  • I never understood these interst rate things. How much can I get loan if i want to make a repayment $2000 a month for 10-15 years @current interest rate.

    • +2

      About $250,000 - use one of the many mortgage calculators online.

    • in theory the best option is if you can afford $2000 per month, you could take the loan for 25 years and then when you have enough capital buy an investment property, you could never predict to make payments of $2000 for 15 years unless you lock it into a fixed rate as the market fluctuates, also fortnightly payments workout cheaper.

      also the ANZ breakfree rate is the same as this

    any reps here? does this come with a free offse account of not?
    I guess thats an important feature as u tend to save a lot if u have one & some extra cash..

    • "Flexible 100% redraw offset facility" so does it mean free redraw and 100% offset account linked?

      • yep i have "Two" accounts, one is an offset, the other is the loan account but i can move money in/out (i.e. free redraw) as well
        The free visa debit card is connected only to the offset account.
        So i just keep most of my money on the redraw for safety and move it to the offset to withdraw if need be.
        Can b-pay from any account

  • OK so this is a variable rate and not locked in, which means after you get the loan the rates could rise any time?

  • Purchase only. no refinance.

  • Could an exiting loans.com.au share with us your experience in relation to movements in variable rate, as compared to central bank movements and the big 4 rate movements? Are they relatively in line with competitors? Were there any out of cycle movements?

    I found it difficult to judge loans.com.au as, unlike the big 4 banks, they do not have a reference rate such as the 'standard variable rate' that is published on their website. I can only see the rate offerred to new applications, not even knowing how these new rates compare to those for existing customers.

    • I cant comment on this as my deal is 5 years of moving with rba rises/falls, my rate has fallen the day after rba announcements for the last year and a half

      • Is the 'offset redraw' account really an offset account? I wonder why they don't call it the offset account?

        • You get two accounts, one is offset the other redraw

        • So just to clarify, you get 3 bsb account numbers? One for the home loan, one being a savings account that is 100% offset to the home loan account, and one is the redraw account? If this is correct (ie. 3 bsb account numbers) then how different is the redraw account compared to the home loan account? Maybe I got it wrong here.

        • 2 account numbers
          the home loan and redraw is the same, you put extra money onto your home loan and take it out for free = redraw
