    Hey Jess I'm holding on and waiting another 18 months, since I'm fixed :)
    Break fees as of yesterday was $5,005 on remaining term.

    The way things are going this time next year we might see a lower flat 3%

    Really?! That's surprising cos your fixed rate is still good. Mine must be about the same.

    Yep, I'll call again next week and see as it's different daily. Buying $$$ must be cheap for banks at the moment

    2.99 % FirstMac Fightback... back in the day .... somewhere around 2010/11 or thereabouts... seems like lenders are "banking" on some RBA reductions

    We just did a million dollar plus loan with @Terry_w with boq. The worst experience ever and client earns millions of dollars per annum. Awful experience. Would never recommend them to anyone.

    Agree, they can be particularly painful. Vanilla deals only. :)

    Thats the problem, BOQ are a mum and dad lender........, the more income, and the more HNW the client, the more complicated things can get.

    Signed off with wbc nab or cba in 1 to 4 days, yet BOQ and its offshoots can drag something like that out for weeks.

    Used to be known as Newcastle Greater Building Society. Many people in Newcastle NSW and surrounding areas have accounts with The Greater or The Perm (Newcastle Permanent).

    Advantedge/Choicelend came out with 3.39 2 year fixed today as well.... their variable rate is pretty sharp too. No offset though - but not a bad loan for vanilla owner occ with an aim to smash the mortgage.

    Cheers

    Thanks Jess - definitely looking to shop around once the inevitable rate cuts take effect.

    EDIT: I'm on 4.59% IO with BankWest for my PPOR. I guess I should call in the interim - what's the best strategy to maximise a rate reduction on a call to their CS team?

    I'd say that 4.59% for this type of loan is actually fairly good. Across several lenders, I'm seeing owner occ IO rates being higher than investment IO rates. The banks don't appear to want people to have IO loans on their own homes.

    If you switch to P&I rates they'll be a lot more negotiable.
