Hi Andy,
You can lock in fixed rates at application, most lenders charges a fee for this.
Minimum deposit will depend on lender, post code, security, etc.
Regarding your 10% saved, don’t forget closing costs, stamp duty etc,
As for Aussie brokers, I don’t know. Cheers.

Hi Andrew,
Just read your last post,

Making repayments on the IP loan from the LOC should be fine as long as you don’t intend to claim the interest on the LOC, (please seek professional advice regarding this)

If your aim is to pay down non deductible debt (PPR Loan) at a faster rate, then I would suggest you look at the benefits of a 100% offs…[Read more]

Hi Andrew,
The advice from your accountant regarding the use of the LOC may be in relation to keeping
deductible and non-deductible separate for accounting purposes.
I would assume if he was aware that you were capitalizing the interest on the LOC and more importantly intend to claim the capitalized interest as a deduction he would advise…[Read more]

Hi Westan,
The variable rates with Pioneer are currently 8.25%, I have a few NZ lenders on my panel including ANZ and have found Pioneer to be one of the more accommodating NZ lenders, they currently offer P&I or I,O repayments, a $250 application fee and no ongoing fees, 80% LVR but will lend to 90% LVR subject to LMI policy.
Pioneer also include…[Read more]

Hi Kowhai,
Quite a few Australian Mortgage Brokers, Myself included have access to finance for non-NZ residents,
Rates and fees will vary between lenders; LVR is 80% to 90% subject to Mortgage Insurance policy/guidelines, location etc.

Fixed rates currently offered by the ANZ in NZ are reasonable at the moment, however their NZ variable rates are…[Read more]

Hi Showbags,
I would suggest you utilize the equity as deposits on separate loans, 80/20 finance will avoid cross colaterisation and the need for mortgage insurance.

I would also suggest the benefits of a 100% offset account rather than a LOC, especially where non-deductible debt is involved, Cheers.

No problem Brahms,
Below is a snippet from my original reply to Bernard, Obviously my suggestions were based on this proviso.

“Sounds like you may need a low doc construction loan. Should be straight forward providing you can service the loan.”

BTW, I had you down for a goodies fan. Monty Python and possibly the Goons also.

Brahms,
What about the income from Bernard’s financee,

“The last thing I would want to to tell my fiancée of 4 years that our marital house and all of what we had worked to achieve will be gone”

Hi Summer,
If your intentions are to pay down non deductible debt (PPR Loan) at a faster rate, then I would suggest a 100% offset linked to the PPR debt may be a good idea,
However, you may find it more beneficial to link the offset to existing non-deductible debt, if applicable.
Cheers.

BTW. StGeorge currently have nil application fees.

Hi Brad,
The majority of Mortgage Brokers don’t charge their clients a fee for their service, most get paid a commission from the lending Institution after settlement, cheers.

Hi woodsmen,
The rates notice never seem to reflect the current value of a property, and the banks take this into account, your estimation will be fine.

However if you are refinancing or using the property as security against the loan, then the lending institution will generally carry out a valuation on the property,…[Read more]

Hi Piaj,
The ATO don’t take to kindly to capitalizing interest on split/investment loans, the recent hearts case comes to mind.
The low doc rate quoted is way way to high, and there is no need to pay a fee when dealing with a reputable mortgage broker.

I would strongly suggest that your friend contact the MIAA (Mortgage Industry Asso…[Read more]

Hi Boris,
It sounds like you may be experiencing delays at a local branch level, have you considered using a mortgage broker to source and follow up on your finance requirements?
The majority of mortgage brokers bypasses the local branch and corresponds direct with the loan assessor’s, cheers.
