  • Does the package includes an offset account?

  • I know they don't have a 2yr rate, but this looks sheit in comparison to uBank.

    Institution 1yr C. 1yr 3yr C. 3yr 5yr C. 5yr Est. Costs Max. LVR
    UBank 4.38% 4.85% 4.72% 4.78% 5.43% 5.08% $395.00 80.00%

    what am i missing?

    edit: apologies for the formatting, hard to read but it's avail here: https://www.ubank.com.au/home-loans

    • ok, looks like the LVR might be a slight difference, 80% max with uBank.

      ING has it cheaper with up to 95% LVR
      1yr 4.69% - Comparison 5.17%
      2yr 4.74% - comparison 5.13%

      no fees mentioned, can't work out why the HSBC comparison rate is so much higher.

    • found it! plenty of establishment fees from what i can see. a few pages into this document

      gees they hid those!

    • Ok, reading on. Looks like there are defferred establishment fees, so after the 2 year rate you could be stuck on the variable rate for 3 years!?!? or can you move out after the fixed term? I cbf finding out anymore so complicated.

  • @ChikenTalon Would have thought that any establishment fees should reflect in the comparision rate. But best to confrim with HSBC.

    I agree UBank has better rates but LVR is an issue. They ask for LMI for appartments over 70% borrowing and the whole process is so painful. I would rather go with other lenders like BankMecu than UBank.

    No point having the best rate if you struggle to settle/refinance due to troublesome process.

    • I calculate the comparison rates at the bank where I work and can confirm that the establishment fees should reflect in the comparison rate. BUT notice the comparison rate says "over the term of 25 years". In the case of the 2 year fixed rate, when calculating the comp rate, the assumption is that the loan moves to a 23 year variable loan which may have a different set of fees associated with it. So the comparison rate is not really a true indicator of the true cost of the 2 year fixed rate loan since it's heavily weighted towards the rate and fees of the 23 year variable loan.

  • Also I'd be checking to see whether they have free rate lock available (with some you have to pay 0.25% or a flat fee). eg. ME bank has free rate lock I think. (I don't work there but I have been looking into refinancing lately so this was my observation)

  • @kati what is rate lock? How does it benefit us? What are the rates with ME?
