Hi guys,
Recently I went to ANZ to change my loan into Interest Only loan, due to system error.
Anyway, while talking to the manager, she said I can only have Interest Only loan for up to 10 years. After that, I can't renew it anymore. One things that pops into my mind is refinancing with different lender when that time comes.
The question: Is it only ANZ that limit IO loan term to only 10 years? How about other lenders?
Thanks
Hi Adam
I wouldn't pay too much attention to it – in 10 years time, you should be able to set up another interest only period. If not with ANZ, then with another lender.
Cheers

Thanks Jamie. That's what I had in mind.
I just wanted to know if this is ANZ thing, not the same for all lenders.
As Jamie said, its not so much a problem and can be rolled over.
But if a lender won't play ball, there's always another lender who will.

Some lenders will say that they won't extend an IO term past a certain number of years – but in reality, it's something that can be worked around.
ANZ are a bit funny – they see changes such as reverting from P&I to IO as "credit critical" so ask for a new application to be submitted. There's been moves to change this – and I've been told that these sort of adjustments can be made in branch now, but I'm still reluctant to send my clients direct to a branch to have them fiddle with their loan accounts.

Hi Jamie,
I am in process of getting this arranged and that is what they've advised me as well, more than 1 month in waiting not getting the docs right. The process change at ANZ is a joke and time its taking as well….what are you advising your clients full application OR have they started doing this in branch now?

A lot will come down to who lodged the application and how it was presented. Every bank has it's issues with processing – but if the application is submitted correctly from the start, there's a much better change of it all going through without too much hassle.

The reason I was in the bank before were to change from P&I into IO. But this is mainly because I was promised IO loan but when it was very close to settlement date, they produced P&I loan and didn't have enough time to change it.
After 5 months, I went back to the branch with different manager. There is no notes left in the system to change it to IO loan or even mentioning wrong loan being setup, so I have to fill up "Change of Request" form with reason as "Tax Planning". No other forms submitted.
The process took 1 week to get it changed.
Sad old sight over the Terry.
Maximum LVR 85% if you are lucky (odd exception where builders are trying to subsidise 10% on their own stock etc) and interest only loans almost a thing of the past.
Simple lending formula of 3 x main income + 1 x secondary for borrowing and even with housing rates at 2.5% – 3.75% things still can get moving.
For expats forget only 1 lender left interested in lending and maximum 65% lvr in selected parts of SE England only. Regretfully non resident is 2% higher so circa 5.5%.
Still i guess when house prices in the main are a lot cheaper there than in Oz at 5.5% it doesn't look too bad.
Certainly with plenty of cash some cracking deals around.

Thanks Jamie/Adam….I've finally received the docs and ANZ advised they had to do the full application in my case (from P&I to IO) cause they call it 'Credit Critical' application or something….but atleast they've advise if i need to roll over my IO period after existing IO expires it should be fast tracked not full application….
cheers….

Anz is particularly difficult – most difficult and awkward bank ive ever had to deal with. When i went from paying interest a year in advance to monthly they insisted I couldnt do interest only. It had to be pandi. Now i can apparently go iovbut i have to full out another complete loan application for a bloody loan I already have! Madness.Try someone else – anyone else. That would be my recommendation.
Adam, have you considered an evergreen LOC. These are designed on an IO repayment with some lenders requiring no review for 30 years (hence evergreen). Rates can be slightly higher and qualification for a LOC can be more difficult today thanks to NCCP, but it achieves your outcomes as a set and forget IO loan.
Not sure if I'd be setting up a LOC to secure an entire IP – it's an expensive option. For a smaller equity release possibly – to secure an entire property, no.

I'll worry about it later but still prefer IO with Offset.
