Fixed Rate Home Loan Special 3.99% for 5 Years + $3,475 Cash Back for Refinances on Own.Occ./Inv. Loans @ Cape Finance

670

UPDATE: This offer has been extended for an undisclosed period of time (most likely a few business days)

A bank who we are not allowed to openly name have a limited time special for 3.99% for 3 and 5 year terms on fixed rates for both Investment and Owner Occupied home loans. On top of this they are also offering $1,500 cash back for refinances!

Another under the table offer for a 3 year owner occupied fixed rates at 3.79% is also available from a different bank, again they will not allow us to openly advise who it is but I can provide the details outside of an open forum.

Please email [email protected] to find out more about this offer. Applications will need to be received in full by the 19th April due to the limited time these offers will be available.

In the spirit of OZBargaining,we are prepared to also cover the $395 annual package fee for the length of the fixed rate period if you decide to use Cape Finance to help arrange the loan and the minimum total lend is $500k. We are top tier brokers which gives us access to faster turn around times for your application.

This means you could be eligible for:
✓ MARKET LEADING 5 year fixed rate
✓ $3,475 cash back for refinancing ($1,500 from the bank and $1,975 from Cape Finance)
✓ Annual package fee covered for the life of the fixed loan (minimum $500k fixed)

The followings terms for the fixed rate offer have been communicated:
- P&I repayments only
- Maximum LVR 95% (inc LMI)
- Cash out up to 80% LVR
- Establishment fee waived as part of member package

No comparison rate was provided however I calculated it to be 4.74% on the 5 year owner occupied fixed rate (based on $150k over 25 years) due to the revert rate at 4.60%. We always suggest a review of your banks offering close to any fixed rate maturing as this is a perfect opportunity to shop around.

We strongly suggest utilising the 'rate lock' option to secure this rate at the time of application - cost is 0.15% of the loan amount (min $500, capped at $2k for loans up to $2m). If you do not rate lock then you will be eligible for the fixed rate on the day your loan settles.

We are Perth based finance brokers and am able to service clients Australia wide FREE of charge. Note that we are not directly associated with the bank and they make up one of more than forty lenders on our residential loan panel.

            @CapeFin: @UFO:
            The rate you selected is higher during the fixed period. In fact, it is 4.44%, almost half a percent higher.

            I understand comparison rates are useful for variable loans, but they don't show the lowest cost in this case. I don't disagree with your other comments, but this is cheaper.

            If at the end of the fixed period, there are cheaper variable loans, switch. If there are not, stay. But it would be very foolish to lock yourself in for a higher rate for 5 years in the hope the variable rate will still be lower when the fixed period ends.

            You are giving poor advice to people, and you have made a poor calculation if you are trying to compare fixed rate loans.

          • @CapeFin: @mskeggs:

            What?

            Of course I've compared fixed rate loans… that's what the OP advertising!!!
            Am I in the twilight zone here? I simply don't understand your argument at all.
            I think you missing the difference between advertised rate and comparison rate mate.

            You're talking about factors I should consider 'after' the fixed rate finishes. That's ludicrous.
            Once the fixed term finishes, anyone is free to go anywhere they like! How is that supposed to be a selling point.

            OP is selling a 5 yr fixed term for 4.74%. I'm saying there's cheaper. And you're saying I'm missing something? If so, what?

            Any btw, I've offered no advice to anyone other than to shop around… I hardly see how that's "poor advice". That's an unfair statement to make.

            @CapeFin: @UFO:
            The OP is offering 3.99%. Your link above is 4.44%. Have you misread? There are no loans at CANSTAR with a lower 5yr fixed rate.

            The poor advice is saying there are other loans offering better deals. There aren't any in the links you have posted.

          • @CapeFin: @UFO: Hi UFO, no offence intended mate. What I meant is there is a bigger picture as you are comparing comparison rates over a much longer term than we would recommend (it would be reviewed just before the fixed rate matures), plus we are covering the annual fee which impacts the effective rate that you would be comparing.

            I thought the explanation above as to why we consider it a deal was straight forward, but of course not everybody seeking finance has the same scenario and people views of what makes a deal will vary. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the post and envoking some thought for the readers.

          • @CapeFin: mskeggs,

            My link (not the cheapest remember) has a comparison rate of 4.3%. OP is 4.7%.
            I'm not sure why there's confusion here.

            since when??? it's clearly says Fixed Rate Home Loan Special 3.99% for 5 Years + $1,500 Cash Back for Refinances on Own.Occ./Inv. Loans @ Cape Finance

            also…

            ✓ MARKET LEADING 5 year fixed rate
            ✓ $1,500 cash back for refinancing
            ✓ Annual package fee covered for the life of the fixed loan (minimum $500k fixed)

            so tell me how OP comparison rate is 4.74%???

          • @CapeFin: capefin,

            You're referring to a longer term… but I'm looking at the 5yr fixed component.

            Why is the longer term even relevant in this discussion?
            The fixed rate term expires after 5 years yes?
            So are you saying that your product offers a discount or benefit after the 5 year term?

            Is that the deal?

          • +1

            @CapeFin: @UFO:

            we are talking about 5yrs fixed rate term here….

          • @CapeFin: @demere:

            Because that's what the OP said mate.
            He said he's own calculations are 4.74% comparison rate… that's been my point from my first post!!

            Advertised rate 3.99%.
            Comparison 4.6%-4.74%.

            Copy and paste:

            "No comparison rate was provided however I calculated it to be 4.74% on the 5 year owner occupied fixed rate (based on $150k over 25 years) due to the revert rate at 4.60%.

            This is why I don't get it.
            What's so good about even 4.6%?

            Macquarie has this: https://www.canstar.com.au/details/?distributor=canstar&tabl…

            Comparison rate of 4.13%… no fees, fixed for 5 years.

            Forget advertised rates. It's the comparison rate that's most important.

          • +1

            @CapeFin: @UFO: I am saying the comparison rate on $150k over 25 years is going to be much higher due to the impact the annual fee will have on a relatively small loan size. This is Ozbargain, we are all chasing a good deal, so when the subjectively good fixed rate ends, people will be shopping around once they no longer have break costs (by closing a fixed rate loan early). I don't think anybody here is saying 4.6% is a good rate and we certainly will be recommending our clients to refinance to a better rate if that is all the current bank would offer to keep their business.

            Also you are not just looking at the 5 year component as you refer to a 'comparison rate' that takes the WHOLE 25 years into consideration on a small loan size, over the 5 year rate term the comparison rate would be very close to 3.99% given there is no annual fee or application once we cover it as per the offer from our side.

            The deal is the fixed rate that would be paid over 5 years, after that a new deal would be recommended.

          • @CapeFin: @CapeFin:

            That's very different!!! And not how you explained it (or I understood it) earlier.

            If the comparison rate over that 5 yr period is indeed about 4%, then with the rebates that's a good deal.
            Thanks for the clarification. Neg revoked.

          • +1

            @CapeFin: @UFO: We are saying the 5 year fixed rate is the deal, we need to disclose the other rates as part of responsible lending. The loan is usually taken over 30 years but the remaining 25 would be up for review.

            On maturity, the benefits of having a broker is that they should be looking after your best interests and either negotiating a better deal with the current bank for the revert rate or presenting options from other lenders that are more competitive.

            You are not effectively paying the comparison rate as that is worked out on a much smaller loan, smaller term and full fees.

            If you have time and want to learn more, have a play with the below calculator to see how they work out comparison rates:

            Nup, got it now :).

            You're 100% right. Chasing the 5 year deal then refinancing later once break costs are gone.
            I was hung up on your comparison rate of 4.6% or whatever you said, and couldn't understand why everyone was thinking that was great. At 4% or thereabouts, plus rebates… that's a good deal.

            @CapeFin: @UFO: Glad we got there mate, these banks can be a tricky bunch at times with how they choose to advertise and compare rates, I really do feel this is a good deal.
            Have a great Easter!

          @CapeFin:

          I think the confusion here is the comparison rate mentioned. True ozbargainer would take the offer for the fixed period where the rate is 3.99% fixed and take measures towards the end of the fixed period to find the best available refinance option at that future date. The rep has hinted at this but didn't spell it out because I don't think it's profitable for them if you refinance and it happens to be elsewhere.

          For myself, the comparison rate mentioned is irrelevant for my use case because only the fixed 3.99% rate would apply to me and I would move to lowest rate possible elsewhere once the fixed period expired.

      Thanks OP.

      Is it St George?
      And is the min $500k threshold to have the annual fee waived negotiable?
      Is an offset available?

      • Hi Stix,

        We are not allowed to openly name the bank making this offer…

        The minimum loan amount for the fee waiver is $500k, happy to do the first year for smaller loans.

        The offset is partial at 0.7%, hardly worth mentioning. We do have alternate lenders who can offer 100% offset accounts on fixed rate loans if it is a required feature. Alternatively, you could have a variable split with 100% offset.
