PLUS 0.3% Bundle Rebate (available via Bundle Property Home Loans only)

In ADDITION to bank rebates, Bundle Home Loans gives a rebate of 0.3% of loan size (net of offset at settlement drawdown. ie balance owing) for ANY bank or product.

Why should I fix?

Given it's now obvious banks are no longer passing on any more rate cuts as predicted and cash rate is at 0.25%, a low fixed rate can still save you more money as you can get an immediate benefit from today as opposed to waiting for a drop.

Always worth doing a calculation for your situation, eg:

If you have an existing loan and your rate is 3.18%, fixing at 2.68% will save you 0.5% each year.
On a $500k loan, that is a saving of $2500 every year.
If you're saving 0.5% and go with a lender giving rebates eg Westpac $6,000 for 2 properties, plus our Bundle Rebate of $1,500, that's a further $7,500 in rebates, plus $2,500 interest savings, you are getting a benefit of $10,000 in just one year!

    Can you do this for loans less than $150k

    • No rebate under $150k

      • +6

        max it out, then sit the spare cash in an offset. fix the portion where your offset wont breakeven.

        • Can you explain this more in detail please?

          • +9

            @toking: let say your house is worth $10, and you only owe $1.

            When refinancing 80% LVR (or whatever you desire), you get $8 borrowed - $1 to pay off the current loan, and $7 cash.

            Since you want to fix only $1, you split the newly borrowed $8 into $7 + $1, where the $7 is variable with full offset and $1 fixed at whatever you desire.

            So now you have two loans $1 fixed, and $7 variable with offset.

            Remember the extra $7 you have borrowed? Place it into the offset account. meaning the $7 portion will pay no interest.

      • I'm on 3.37% rate on simplicity plus. Can you get me onto 2.76 CPR owner occupied P&I

        • And I can max out my loan or have it over $250k for a bit.

  • Wow the variable rate is lower than fixed?

    2.12% (CPR 2.76%) owner occupied P&I

    • +1

      Sorry typo 2.72% (CPR 2.76%) owner occupied P&I. Will update once mod lets me.

      • Ah right. That makes more sense!

  • +2

    Can an existing customer with ANZ fixed loan shift to these fixed rates?

    • Would like to know if I can switch regular anz loan to these deals

    • +16

      That's not how fixed loans work.

    • +5

      Yes you can. After you pay a fixed rate break fee!

      • +1

        If the fixed-rate break fee is less than $4000 and you get $4000 from ANZ, then win win

        • Break costs are also tax deductible!

        • Fixed rate break fee is calculated on a daily basis and takes into account the costs the revenue will loose by breaking the rate. So it’s actually not $4000, it’s different for everyone and depends on the old rate, current rate, loan balance and term remaining on the loan. You also can’t get $4000 back if your already with ANZ. The $4000 is to attract new customers only or additional lending of $150k+ refinanced to ANZ from another bank

          I know this because I work for ANZ and help customers with their lending.

          Cheers

    • +1

      Also would like to know. Currently have four months left of fixed rate with ANZ. Like to break so I can get $$ back

    • I spoke to ANZ it is not possible to pay the break fee and fix again with 2.19% and still be eligible for the $4000 bonus and the bundle rebate without first moving to another bank and moving back.

      But you can try your luck.

    Where are the investor fixed rates ?

  • +1

    What's the rate for Investor P&I Fixed?

  • +64

    I will say this until I am blue in the face - everyone should wait for a week or two and see what deals come out. Locking in to a 1-3 year fixed rate when the market is still turned on its head seems really unwise to me. Cheers!

    • +2

      ^ This. :)

      • +5

        Yup, for them to be dumping fixed rates by 0.7% or greater, indicates to me that they will lower rates even further.

        • What would be you suggestion if loan is due for renewal at end of April?
          Should I wait for couple of weeks or start the process and change bank in middle of it if another bank put more attractive offer?
          Another option I have is to keep loan in variable for couple of weeks more but that will incur $400 package fee.

          • @ggmm2013123: You can probably get the fee back pro rata I assume. Don't take my word for it, but check with your bank.

      • +13

        Len, a real hodge podge of comments there. I think you've missed my point? I'm not saying don't refinance, I'm saying wait a couple of weeks until all the banks have announced their rates and offers. I also stand by what I've said before which is that when fixed rates are lower than variable it's (primarily) because lenders expect variable rates to go down.

    • +1

      Agree, agree, agree. Every chance we'll see lower variable rates across the board soon. Fixed rate this low means the banks are sweating- they know the rate is going to get even lower, and they're probably hoping for a handful of people fixing their loans to guaruntee some revenue before then.

      • +1

        I don’t think variable rates will go much lower… fixed rates are so much lower now because of RBA buying longer term govt bonds which pushes bank funding costs for fixed loans down significantly.

        • Well, the banks disagree with you. They clearly think variable rates will go lower. Hence why the fixed rates are where they are- you pay the bank for the privilege of security and certainty.

  • +12

    You'd be mad to lock in a fixed rate at this point in time

    • +2

      But the banks are not dropping their variable rates though

      • +2

        that's what they want you to think why bring out all these low fixed rates?

        • Because they have better funding certainty on fixed rates.

          • +2

            @serpserpserp: I'm a pricing guy, trust me, if they want customers they will compete against each other.

            Dropping fixed rates instead of variable is a smart idea as only new customer can get it, whereas if it's variable it will be passed to all existing customers which means reduced revenue and profit without before any increase in customer numbers. Genius but also a bad look in such an environment.

            • @Pentanol:

              Dropping fixed rates instead of variable is a smart idea as only new customer can get it

              It was part of the GFC playbook so I guess it is now too.

      • +1

        ANZ aren't dumb, why would they dangle a $4000 carrot.

        In interest of disclosure, do you get the same commission for a fixed vs variable?

  • To refinance should I pay another 10% deposit to a new lender on a 550k loan?

    • What do you mean? If you have a home worth ~$611k then that will be considered your 10% equity on a $550k loan.

      • Good news! Thank you. I always thought that I had to pay another 10-20% deposit to a new lender in order to refinance with them…

        • No worries. The way to think about equity is that is how much you have put towards the purchase price of the home (because a bank will not want to lend you 100% of the value of the home in case it drops in value). It's not a fee or charge taken by the bank.

          So if, for some reason, you sold your property today, you would pay out the bank loan and then whatever cash is left would be yours.

  • Anyone know if ING will be freezing home loans?

    • Can always switch to ANZ.

  • What is 0.3% Bundle Rebate? Please explain

    • +3

      It's gravy baby. Gravy.

      • We gives a rebate of 0.3% of loan size (net of offset at settlement drawdown. ie balance owing)

        • +1

          I feel like I've asked this before but I never got a response back from you (in your previous post).

          Since your rebate is paid 50/50 at 2 months then 24 months, but is calculated at settlement (?) net of offset, couldn't someone just put money into their offset account day after settlement?

          In which case why does the "net of offset" even matter …

          • @supacheap: The banks will monitor the balance owing for up to 12 months and claw back.

        • Can you please explain how this rebate work? What is net of offset and when is the rebate paid? Thanks.

          • +1

            @c0nfus3d: net balance owing = loan limit minus offset funds. Paid 50/50 at 2 and 24 months after settlement.

  • +1

    Great deal OP, I will be in touch after around 2 weeks. Economic situation is too volatile to sign any lock-in contracts ATM.

  • I will wait for a little further.

  • Hmm I currently have a 605k mortgage at 3.75% Fixed until Nov 2020 with ANZ.

    Been told the fixed rate exit fee is $6,500

    What to do….

    • +3

      Do a calculation of saving per month and whether if it is worthwhile to break. There is a calculator as part of Windows 10 if you no longer have a desk calculator.

    • Wait, would save around $6.3k if you broke and got on new %

    • +5

      Basically the calculation you should do is:

      {Current annual interest cost @ 3.75%} - {New interest cost @ new rate} - Exit fee

      If that number is positive it means you will save more than the exit fee in interest expense over the next 12 months

      This simple approach assumes interest rates do not change over the next 12 months

      If you are asking this question (please don't take this the wrong way) I suggest you find a good mortgage broker or financial advisor to help you through these decisions

      • I'm in the same position. Fixed at 3.75% with ANZ until November 2020. I called ANZ and asked if they would waive the loan break costs so that I can go onto the 2.19% deal as a COVID-19 compassionate gesture and they wouldn't budge. The banks always make their money. Even if you defer loan payments for 6 months, they just add the interest on top, so they will still make their money on the loan.

    • I told you what to do in other thread. Is your LVR below 80? If yes, just call OP.

    • Your break fee might go up, as the new rates are lowered. Best opportunity for taking advantage was to break your package a few days earlier, when the market knew that the rates will come down. I don’t think between now and November you will have savings of $6500+ if you change to the new rates. Come November hopefully you will get the new or or even better rates. They are predicting the covid19 situation to last up to six months. You will be in a perfect situation to assess and take advantage of the rates at that time.

      • I'm with ANZ and thinking of going with NAB as they are offering $4k bonus.

  • Gimme the bloody variable. These guys are going fixed as things will continue to stop

  • Still can’t find anything offical form ANZ regarding the $4000 Cashback?

    • Ditto. Is this $4k funded by ANZ or the broker?

              @netjock: Exactly right.. we are not allowed to give financial advice either, it’s illegal… hence, and I’ve said it twice already, I don’t give financial advice on this forum and you shouldn’t be either especially because you have no idea what you’re talking about

              • -1

                @BarryBargain88: Okay coming from the Chartered Accountant from the same professional association associated with Big 4 accounting firms that have audited pretty much all the big corporate failures and washed their hands of it. The only one that was allowed to fail was Arthur Andersen.

                Chartered accountants are good at hiding. At some point chartered firms will be broken up

                I am giving exactly the same general advice as disclaimers on bank webpages which is: if you don't keep up with your repayments you will have your house repossessed. That could be as a result of job loss.

                I am also not telling someone to sell at the end of 6 months. It is the same general notice people get when signing up for a share trading account: investment values go up and down, you could end up with less than you put in.

                You have no idea between non specific advice (I have no idea of your circumstances neither am I recommending any products) and if you act on advice which you got and there is no contractual arrangement (including free only in pro bono). You need a contract to be enforceable and governed burden of responsibility.

                Now that you hold yourself out as a Chartered Accountant then you can't give advice, because you are holding out you are acting in a professional capacity (or you are just lying about being an accountant). I hold myself giving common sense advice as a unskilled cleaner.

                Losing your job is a real possibility, mortgage holidays is a real possibility (given the reported in the news), losing money on investments is a real possibility. Am I asking people to sign on for a product? I am just alerting to the fact that the following things are a realistic possibility which are not financial products.

                    I've managed organisations where hundreds of millions is just rounding and at a group level less than a billion difference in the balance sheet views is irrelevant. But then I'm with the people with make fact based decisions not people who just talk trash hoping they won't get found out.

                  @netjock: WIth ya. Common bloody sense.

                  More and more people are loosing their jobs…which in turn will mean less being spent in society..so even if you think your job is safe now it might not be. Less spending, less money going around, more people unable to pay their mortgages and selling and lower and lower prices, more owing more on their mortgage than their houses are worth.

                  It's a vicious cycle and I've not ever seen anything like this in my life…but I was born in the 80s. Even the GFC didn't seem to be as drastic as this. This is sudden and people are loosing jobs very quickly due to the corona virus and it basically putting an embargo on even the ability to spend.

                  As net said….awesome…get that 600k loan on 2% fixed interest. And if you loose your job in 3 months good luck trying to cover 12k interest.

                  Consider the very worst scenario…then decide if you can handle that…in a situation that is going to get worse and stretch out longer. Consider what is happening to the economy much like what is happening with virus infection rates. The more that loose jobs spend less affecting more businesses which will cut more jobs …you get the idea.

                  It's not rocket science for anyone that thinks this guy is talking garbage. If it doesn't make sense you should really consider educating yourself even just a little bit.

    • +3

      Signing a contract to buy a house has no effect on whether you are out of a job, that can happen regardless. But there's certainly significantly more risk taking on a loan as big as this right now.

      Yet to see how the "repayment holiday" period will work. Generally interest capitalises on the loan, rather than a payment being required to cover it, this will certainly change given you won't be making principal repayments. Will it convert to Interest Only? This won't really help many on a single income or no income at all right now.

      Will it make a loan go into arrears, with additional payments plans required post unfreeze? It won't all just be fixed as soon as we get through the other side, people won't be able to all of a sudden make more repayments than they were prior to this blowing up.

      This is a snap decision being made to stop an utter and immediate collapse (i'm not saying it's right or wrong), there will be further measures come out over the next weeks/months to address all of this.

      • curious to know the answer to this as well!

      • Will it make a loan go into arrears, with additional payments plans required post unfreeze?

        Look up the UK example. Google is your friend in this instance.

    • Agree…some people are still oblivious to the mega recession looming upon us. These are unprecedented times not only in Australia but all around the world
      and all time low interest rates and Quantitative Easing is not going to cut it I'm afraid.

  • Where can we find the cashback offer from ANZ being $4000 for loans above $250k.

    • it's a discretion and not publicly advertised but ask your local branch or call them they'll know and tell you about it.

  • Can you do equity release with this to get you up to the 250K minimum limit ?

    Gimmick. Prefer Variable in these uncertain times. Hate fixed rates. ANZ is okay as they allow people to prenegotiate the revert rate.

    • ANZ passed on 15pts cut on variable too.

      • +1

        …15 of the 25?

        • I think he means off the 50BPS RBA cut, ANZ has passed 40BPS on the variable (first 25BPS as of 13th Mar and second 15BPS as of 27th Mar)

        • I am aware. However, ANZ variables are not sharp at all. Bank of Melbourne/STG Basic will be juicy after they announce their rate cut PLUS $4,000.

  • Len, can I combine this with my corporate ANZ discount where the annual fee of $395 associated with the package gets waived?

  • Fantastic. More subsidy to gamblers by people with their affairs in order.

  • I thought NAB and Westpac hasn't announced what they were doing yet with variable rates?

    • ANZ was the only bank to cut variable rates by .15%.

      All other 3 majors did not touch variables, only fixed.

        Just one word to add - "yet".
