    1.99% appears to be a special offer for two years, then it would increase by 1.00% after that. Good rate for two years but then you'd need to refinance as 2.99% is quite high compared to other variable rates on offer at the moment.

    2 year discounted variable rate
    Apply and fund by 31 October 20201
    and get:
    ❙ A discount of 2.65% p.a. off the standard variable home loan rate for a period of 2 years.
    ❙ At the end of the 2 year period, the 2.65% p.a. discount will revert to a life of loan discount
    of 1.65% p.a. off the standard variable home loan rate, and your repayment amounts will
    change at this time.

  • After 2 years????

    • Yeah sorry should've probably said that the two years only at the lower rate would mean I wouldn't look at this as you'd probably be disappointed in the rate after two years … associated fees, etc.

    What's the downside of switching to these guys and then refinancing in two years? Isn't that what everyone who moves providers for a great fixed rate does?

    The only risk I can see is if your circumstances changes and you can't refinance.

      Yes, that's what I am planning to do. I can't see what is the downside for switching here for two years then refinancing. This is a variable rate, so if the interest rate goes down, the rate should go down too, unlike in fixed.

  • Has anyone applied for a loan with this lender? I'm curious as to how long the process took.

    Also, did they do a desktop valuation or a full valuation of your property?

      I applied for my pre-approval a week ago. It's still in the works as there was a bit of back and forward for me to provide certain documentation.

      • Thanks for that. Also just saw your comments in the other thread.

        Do you know whether they required a full valuation of your property?

        • +1

          In my instance, yes. They will require their evaluator to attend the property
