Agree with what you say, it varies lender to lenderwe (Rams) are currently using 7.59% as assessment rate which is 1% over the cheapest variable rate product, and much lower for fixed rates…
Hi Dave/MrUnique
it's really not that confusing or difficult.
the assessment rate is usually 1% above the standard variable to give the insitution more comfort
happy to work it out for you if you want to email me, i have a calculator that one of the lenders use
otherwise there are manual ways as Qlds007 mentioned above.cheers

PosEnterprises wrote:yes the rate goes down to 1.5% this year now. I am not sure if i should sit out and wait until end of Sep 09 before i refinance again. But hoping that i won't miss out on the lower fixed rates so i can fix for 5 years.Pos
have you run all the figures? that should give you your answer one way or the other…

Rams still going strong with low doc and have no immediate plans to change policy. Actually policy has relaxed a little now not using GE for mortgage insurer. So short-term anyway no changes I have heard. No restrictions on equity release either as long as stated purpose, whereas with GE as mortgage insurer it was very limited.
GST registration of 1.5 years will not be a problem whatsoever, as long as GST registration is not in proximinty to loan application ie. 2 or 3 weeks prior, then it's fine. ABN for 2 years over 70% LVR is a must and 12 months for under 70%. No problem with being on file as GE is no longer used and meets current policy.
Hope this helps

Have ABN for 9 years, gst registration for 1.5 years. Last time I applied for RAMS loan GE wanted letter from accountant explaining why gst registration was so recent…this request would probably still be on file with GE.
PosEnterprises wrote:What rebate are they talkin about and how much I am stuck until Sept 09 and got to pay about $12k all up if i leave. hmmm what to do!if your ERF's are around $12k, i'm thinking your loan amount is around $500k ish? Sept 09 does it revert to 1.5% or 1% for ERF's? you need to figure if it's worth waiting to pay lower ERF's compared to what you save in interest payments.
here is the rebate scale:
<$300k Rate Relief product $500, all other $1500
$300- $500k RR $1000, other $1500
$500k – $1mil $3k all products
$1mil + $5k all products
let me know if you need help
Terry, where was this??
mine were also 2% until July 09 but just moved across, it made sense to switch to 5.69% instead of mid 7's. Lo Docs are max 80% at Rams now / 6.29% currently under s/e pro pack…
let me know when you're moving across and can help you out…there is a rebate you can get also
lol Ajax
I think Raymond has done pretty well out of the RHG mess as he's also been employed by Westpac.
are you still with RHG or did you move accross?
doubtful this will eventuate to anything…
