Hi,
i just got my first home (ppr) using fhog, i got the place for a good price in a good area, it was listed for 390.000 and i finished up paying 300.000. the loan i have is at 7.350% on a 100% loan and it has a 1.5% exit fee.[worried]
Should i be looking at refinancing, are there better deals around, i couldn’t really choose which lender i used at the time.
P.S. the house i think will be around the 350.000 price range going by what the area is selling for atm.Any idea’s please.[biggrin]

If you refinance you will be hit with around $4500 in exit fees. Your rate is not too bad, so it may be better to wait a bit for some more equity to build up – generally refinances are only available up to 90% LVR. Oh, and you would be up for LMI again too!!

I agree with Terry – you rate might not be the best but it certainly isnt terrible and its going to cost you quite a bit to change. Another option may be to go back to the same lender and see if there is any product switch available – for a small fee you might be able to swap to another loan type with a more competitive rate.

[email protected]Hey Rastus. Good on you for getting a good deal like that for your PPOR. Honestly. a 100% finance, there is not that much better rate you will get (excepting loan sharks and fine print type loans) and as the others said with your LMI and exit fees forget about it. If it is of any help, to put things in perspective, the best rate you are likely to find for a reasonable loan like this is between 7.02 and 7.14%, and the standard variable rates are still 7.82 from the banks, and their ‘discounted rates’ with monthly fees are around the 7.2 to 7.3% so what I say is a big congratulations on your new home…..and forget about the mortagea for a few years at this rate and enjoy your castle.! [biggrin] All the best.
Thank you all for your information, just wanted to make sure i wasn’t paying anymore than i had too and judging for all the info i’ve got i’m not to bad off.
It’s like being a teenager again! willing the years away so you can start driving a car……..[biggrin]
