Cheapskate Paul replied to Caped Baldy on Replacing rear fence shared with a public school
It probably depends on the council. I built a house that backed on to a council reserve and they paid half the cost of the fence.

My statement is still correct. You may have misread it.

An offset account is not so important when the interest rate is < 2%

Cheapskate Paul replied to ragrum on ING Latest Requirement to Increase Savings Each Month
No he isn't. He specifically used the word waiver. What you are talking about is a rebate. I answered the question as asked.

Cheapskate Paul replied to whooah1979 on Australian Housing Market Could See a Historic Crash
In the case you describe the bank is a deposit taker, not a borrower. John is a depositor, not a lender.

The bank is the lender, not the borrower. You have it arse about.

Cheapskate Paul commented on Bank of Melbourne - from 1.89% Pa OO P&I 4 Years Fixed (<60% LVR) + from $4k Cashback
The banks must be loving this. Borrow money at 0.1% then lend it out at ~2%. LVR < 60% means virtually no risk (for the bank, not you).
