    Can I transfer my $250K loan (of which I usually have a 0.01 balance at ubank) and pay off 249,999 immediately?

    I know there will be stamp duty and things like this. Trying to figure out if it can still clear me a $2k+ profit

    (I still want the loan facility open for some future works we have planned)

    • vid_ghost on 24/02/2020 - 14:24

      You will see alot of loans have early discharge fees

      Like as in if you pay the loan off within 3 years ext.
      I've seen them range from $350 to a % of the loan sometimes :)

      https://www.stgeorge.com.au/content/dam/stg/downloads/person…

      ExistingHome Loansthe higher of 0.15% of the loan amount (to be at a fixed rate) or $500.For loan amounts up to $2M, the fee is capped at $1,000. For loans >$2M the 0.15% of the loan balance applies.

        Early discharge fees aren't a thing anymore.

        Just get a variable interest rate and you can refinance whenever and pay the same fees as anyone else.

      In some cases, the above can lead to the broker getting paid a commission on $0.01. If you are going to do something like this, go straight to the bank direct.

      A lot of paper work, and headaches, etc. Most lenders will attempt to offer a better deal to retain you, but there is only so much some lenders can do. Move to another lender if it makes sense.

    When I enquired about the WBC offer they wanted an LVR of <= 70%. What is the LVR requirements for the St George deal?

    • AssociatedLen -Bundle Loans @ Bundle Property Home Loans on 24/02/2020 - 17:23

      Westpac give further -0.1% for <70LVR.
      STG give further -0.05% for <60LVR.

      • ely on 24/02/2020 - 21:43
        +1

        So that would be 2.89% for <70LVR? Recently refinanced on <70LVR, but I thought the valuation was pretty generous and wouldn't be confident of getting that in the market (or another valuation). 2.89% is only just above my current rate, so with $4k cash back I'd have to consider it.

        • ely on 24/02/2020 - 19:52
          +1

          You (probably) don't need an offset.

          • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2020 - 20:21

            @ely: Yes. Offset is absolutely important.

            • ely on 24/02/2020 - 20:46
              +2

              @[Deactivated]: It's important if you plan on converting to an investment property in the future, otherwise it's redundant. If you get it for $0 take it but don't make the mistake of paying for it.

              • ely on 25/02/2020 - 11:14

                @ely: More detailed explanation.

                For tax reasons, if you plan on converting your home in to an investment property in the future, and expect to claim interest as an expense, then you will want an offset because the redrawing makes this a mess (which is crazy, but it is what it is). Note that you can rent out your primary residence for quite a while before it necessarily has to become an investment property and this might be better for CGT reasons than claiming interest as expenses, depends on your circumstances, talk to your accountant, etc.

                Otherwise many people seem to think that they need an offset account, but you can do fine using redraw. Just put all of your income in to your mortgage, all of your expenses on credit card, and redraw to pay the credit cards in full every month. This works out marginally better than offset in terms of interest because the interest free period on the credit cards lets you keep a higher average balance against your mortgage than if you were paying this out of your offset instead - the difference isn't likely to be large though, the key thing is that you're not actually behind as many people seem to think. You'll also get some additional benefit in the form of rewards points / sign up bonuses from running everything through a credit card, how much this is worth to you is up to you, but a small added bonus.

                Offset is probably easier, and doesn't require you to be as organised (and you can still run everything through a credit card if you want), so if you want it and can get it for free then there's no downside to it that I can see. I just wouldn't pay more for it, and the cheapest options tend to come without it (e.g. TicToc / Athena have very good rates, but offset is a paid extra).

    • El-Rhi on 25/02/2020 - 07:59

      No, they still need to lend per the responsible lending regulations. If anything it’s harder to get a home loan now given the scrutiny of expenses. They are purely doing it to build market share and grow their loan books.

  • enzso on 24/02/2020 - 18:38

    Good for some, not for everyone. Important to do your sums. If I refinanced with the StG basic offer my repayments would increase $316 per month. By the time I got the 24 month Bundle bonus I'd be over $2000 worse off after fees. And I'd lose the offset account I currently enjoy.

    The pain of a high interest rate continues long after the thrill of a sign-on bonus has faded

      It’s pretty subjective I moved from 3.39 to 3.01 with st George, so paying less and $$3100 bonus ($900 approximately cost). No brainer for me

    Great to see this offer back. I switched to StGeorge from another lender in December last year. I was able to get 3.04 for my primary residence and 3.49 for my investment. All the cash backs got paid so, win win with interest rates and cash back. The process was simple (With a great broker I was put forward to via the online chat) as long as you have your documents in tact. Hope this helps

      • munted on 25/02/2020 - 12:53

  • swilso on 24/02/2020 - 21:27

    To be quite frank, I am with St George and stupidly locked in on an interest rate until November. Their customer service and ability to help on enquiries is almost non existent. I would go elsewhere or take up the NAB offer which gives you until end of June I believe.

    Noob question: Suppose I have a mortgage of 400k with offset, and that offset contains 50k. If i were to refinance at this point, would I need to empty the offset to myself or would that offset money belong to the first lender?

      If you refinanced for the same loan limit of $400k, you will still have $50k in the current bank offset/savings account. After the refinance remember to manually move the $50k into the new bank's offset/loan account.

    The fees to refinance with St George seem a lot higher than the ANZ deal. Even though the rebate from St George can be $1500 higher than ANZ, this is to cover the extra fees.

    OP, for a hypothetical $435,000 refinance can you do a comparison of fees (including any annual fees) between:
    1. St George basic 2.99% (CPR 3.01%) owner occ variable P&I
    2. ANZ 3.09% (CPR 4.65%) owner occupied P&I

    Is the .30 rebate just the trail commission you pay over the life of the loan? How does that work?

    • AssociatedLen -Bundle Loans @ Bundle Property Home Loans on 26/02/2020 - 15:19

      Bundle Rebate is paid in 2 instalments, 50% at 2 months and 50% at 24 months after settlement per our Credit guide and in accordance with Lender’s up to 24 month clawback policy. For background, we are able to provide a rebate to the customer from the the commission that lenders pay us. Lenders claw back our commission up to 24 months after settlement, so that if a customer refinances/sells/discharges and our commission is clawed back, if we have already paid out rebate, not only are we doing the work for free, we suffer a loss of the rebate amount out of our own pocket. We present a signed legally binding agreement outlining these T&C's confirming our obligation to pay you the rebates, as well as the customer's obligations to return the rebate to us should a clawback event occur. Importantly, this only relates to return of our rebate given to you, we do not charge a fee for lost commission. But even if you must refinance and leave, as long as you stick with me and I help you do it, you can keep the rebate (as the new bank commission would replace the clawback). Thank you for your understanding.

    Has anyone completed their refinance? I'm still waiting after three months.
