In anycase, given our current circumstances, we'll be staying put with our variate rate with Anz currently, but in the unlikely event that fixed rates drop to 4-5% for over 3-5 yrs .. . it may be a different story .. though that would mean variable rates would be below that as well. oh the dilemma.. Re: Home Loan Re-finance 15Aug 17, 2011 8:41 pm mwa7876 Hi Namz ANZ is offering a subsidy of up to $1000 to offset switching fee cost charged by other financial institutions for Breakfree Package customers for loans more than $250K. What is your current loan balance? If it is high enough I would suggest you call CBA and threaten to leave if they don't decrease your rate. You are better off trying to get them to match a rate offered by another lender than paying $1,400 in fees to leave. CBA are very negotiable at the moment. I have seen them give some good discounts. Cheers Patrick Yeah I received a call today from CBA. They are offering me an additional discount. So as part of my current wealth package i am already getting discount .70% , they are willing to make it .85% discount. In $ terms , it means 25$ of saving every month. If I jump to ANZ , that gives me an saving of 80$ of saving per month on my current installments but ANZ is asking for setup costs which are around 600$ all inclusive.they are waving my breakfree package fee of 395$ for 1st year. So at the moment i am confused what shall i be doing.. Re: Home Loan Re-finance 16Aug 18, 2011 12:07 pm I'm getting 6.81% on CBA Variable WealthPackage on $500K+ loan. I was getting 7.11%, threatened to go to UBank, then CBA gave me the discount. If you don't make an attempt to jump somewhere else, they'll probably never drop it. Re: Home Loan Re-finance 17Nov 15, 2011 8:29 pm namz Guys, I am looking to break away from CBA and look for more options to see if i can save anything. At present I have 2 home loans from CBA . Main one and the top up loan . If I break ( as i am under 4 years) I would have to pay 700$ each on those 2 loans. Do we know there are any banks\lenders who will cover this cost if I switch to them , any such current offers in mkt ? Thanks I'm pretty sure nab will pay the break out fee...sorry no time to research it for you, but here is the link... http://www.nab.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/n ... ce/22/2/69 Re: Home Loan Re-finance 18Nov 15, 2011 9:37 pm NAB was paying a portion of the break-up fee, unless you opted to go for a lower interest rate by negotiation, then the deal was off Although the op has probably moved banks since August The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 20138 you were just referred to get advice from your solicitor.
