    So this is a far worse deal right?

    Previously refinancing my PPoR and Investment property I got $6000 ($4k for first property + $2k for 2nd).

    Under these new rules I’d get a maximum of $3k and then only if I was a “new customer”

    This post should really be a warning to make sure you apply before June 30 to get the $4k not a deal for $3k…

    • Absolutely agree stirlo - that was the primary reason behind posting this as soon as we received notification and have therefore bolded the warning that the current offer is only available for applications submitted untik 30 June.

      The only advantage I can see of the new offer is that it is available for LVR's up to 90% now (compared with 80% with the current offer), but refinances above 80% LVR will generally require lender's mortgage insurance.

      Super important that anyone who is considering refinancing to Westpac group at <80% LVR look at getting their application submitted by 30 June.

        I think the problem is you’re posting a dupe on the pretence of a new offer.

        • I disagree DingoBlue; even Westpac group have emailed brokers today with the subject "Introducing our new Refinance Cashback offer" - the amounts, limitations, and terms have all changed, so it is a brand new offer when compared with the current refinance cashback, which is only available until 30 June.

          • +1

            @Loan Base: Do you agree the new offer is worse?

            • @DingoBlue: Dingo, you're missing the point though. A home loan isn't a product you buy off the shelf with a fixed price and terms in which you can easily compare historical prices and determine if you're getting ripped off.

              In this instance the "Deal" that LoanBase is highlighting is that current cashback terms end soon.

              That aside though it's also possible that for some people a cashback on 90% LVR terms is a great deal.

              • @ndenham: No you’re missing the point that

                the "Deal" that LoanBase is highlighting is that current cashback terms end soon.

                has already been posted long ago.

                This isn’t OzReminder.

                • @DingoBlue: Say I accept your argument.

                  The new terms on 90% LVR is a new deal.

                  • +1

                    @ndenham: Yeah look at everyone smashing that + button.

                    I’m just taking time trying to explain to OP why their post is a dud.

                    Why are you here? Sockpuppeting or just playing devil’s advocate PhD?

                    • @DingoBlue: DingoBlue - we didn't post this new deal expecting a flurry of upvotes, however in its own right, a $3k refi cashback on $250k+ loan refi, with up to 90% LVR through one of the major banks, available alongside some of the best fixed rates on the market (1.89% OOPI / 2.19% INVPI / 2.39% INVIO) is still very competitive, particularly with the 30 June offers from the Westpac group about to expire.

                      We therefore would have posted this deal regardless, because it will be an offer that is worthwhile considering for many from the date it launches. My reply to stirlo simply confirmed that we posted the deal as soon as possible to also provide the added benefit of giving people the opportunity to compare offers and potentially get their applications lodged by 30 June (under the current offer) if it suits them better.

                      Given that St George has maintained one of the most competitive offers on the market for months now, including repeatedly extending their $4k/$2k cashback offer, I suspect that many people would be interested to see the details of the new offer that is launching in 10 days and to compare it to the current offer, which has now been confirmed as actually expiring and not being extended as was previously the case.

                      Regardless, this is a valid post of a new competitive deal that will be worthy of consideration when it launches in 10 days. With the economic outlook improving and the implied futures yield curve on the cash rate increasing, I suspect we may have seen the most competitive home loan offers now and offers moving forward will become less competitive (as seen via the fixed rate increases across the majors lately).

                      PS - ndenham is not a Loan Base employee so there is no sockpuppeting here; based on the username, I believe he is a client - if so, we appreciate the support!

  • Any current offers if moving from Westpac to another bank for owner occupied property? Cheers

    • Hi knowwhat, yeah absolutely - if you are happy to move to a lender outside of the Westpac group, the most competitive offer that we've been writing lately for OOPI is likely Citibank's up to $4k cashback on refinances or purchases (depending on your loan size). Through Citibank, we have been able to access 2 year fixed rates of 1.89% pa and discretionary pricing on their variable rates to bring them as low as 2.19% pa basic or 2.39% pa with offset. Please reach out or PM your number if you'd like to discuss your best options with one of our brokers.

  • You'd be lucky to get the cash back before end of the calendar year and that is being optimistic.

    • You're not wrong - Westpac group have been one of the worst with SLA's on the market lately. Fortunately there are other highly competitive cashback options like Citibank with much better SLA's if you are in any form of a rush to get your loan settled.

  • What does “per 12 month period” mean in the T&Cs? If I received a cashback within 12 months does that mean I’m ineligible?

    • Correct - same client cannot receive two cashbacks from the lender within 12 months. It doesn't mean you are ineligible if the cashback you received was from another lender, however.

      • Thanks
