    Hi Brokers/Home owners/Investors,

    What interest rate should I be able to get on a home loan with full offset account.
    In my case I could offer 33% deposit on a 500k loan.
    This will be to live in.
    Im not sure yet if I will be buying land and building or buying already done.
    Seems difficult to find information on offset loans.

    Thanks

    Hi Property Twins,
    My goal is to build or buy myself a house.
    Yes in the future I would be looking to invest.
    For now I would like to know what ball park % rate I should aim for.
    I'm thinking under 3% but not sure if that is possible with a full offset.

    do you mean the offset will be full at settlement or a 100% offset account?

    You could get from 2.70s upwards potentially.

    Hi Terry,
    I mean a 100% offset account.
    2.7 sounds like a very good rate to be able to find.
    Do you have any advice on who would be offering these kind of rates.

    You'd probably be better off talking directly to one of the brokers on the forum. We can't really make specific recommendations if we haven't verified that you'd actually qualify for the loan.

    Thanks guys.
    We are in a very strong position.
    No debt at all and solid savings and saving record.
    These low 2.7s rates you say, would these be available from any of the big 4 banks?
    The RBA just recently announced there will be very low lending rates for banks for years to come.
    Wonder if it would pay to just wait a month or 2 longer?

    I didn't think so but these days who knows.
    What do you reckon the big 4 could offer in %
    I feel the big 4 would be safer right now but I can't even base that on any facts and it's why I like asking you fellas in the know

    Several lenders offering under 2.80% with offset accounts, one major bank offering 2.69% which is pretty good

    I think with a possible recession looming for some unknown reason it just feels as though they may be a safer option. Less chance of going belly up.

    makes surficial sense.

    But if one digs a bit deeper it may actually be the other way round

    Suncorp in my view is a riskier propostion than say Heritage or AMP, due to the commercial and development exposures

    Id say the big 4 would be similar, NAB and ANZ especially

    It might be a breach of the NCCP act if I do as brokers are not supposed to advertise rates without various disclosures made.
