    Hi guys,

    just wanted to gauge what competitive rates look like currently and what people are paying.

    I have my PPOR with HSBC part fixed and part variable at 6.07% (this isnt great, but is fully offset so not really concerned).


    I have 2 Residential investment properties in my own name with ANZ, paying 5.89% variable P+I.

    I also have a Residential IP held in a trust with ANZ, paying 6.19% variable and P+I.

    I have held conversations with ANZ around commercial lending and they have quoted 6.35% IO at 80% lend, 30 year loan with an offset facility.


    How do these compare to what other investors are getting out on the market currently?

    without knowing a few other bits its hard to say whats doable, especially LVR.

    These rates are on the lower end of the market, with some slight improvement possible.

    Pretty sure the ANZ comm product doesnt have offset, based on the most recent one we have done. Rate looks ok, assuming below a 1mill lend ?

    I would think your investment P&I rates are good rates when compared to Westpac and CBA

    5.89% variable with offset for PPOR is a good rate

    Assuming your Resi inv is below 80%, they are good rates.

    We actually been seeing major lenders cutting their discounts on the back end.

    just moved to westpac 5.64% ppor p&i, low lvr and managed to get a nice cashback prior to the tap turning off, so far so good, let's see how service is...

    Lenders do have margins to hold, and with cashbacks less common now, most larger lenders dont see existing clients as much as a flight risk as before

    I'm wondering whether to take the bait of 100,000 Qantas points per year per property and switch to Qantas Money...

    You can get that by changing credit cards once or twice a year. I wouldn’t be choosing a loan based on bonus points

    Im quite curious about the commercial rate you have quoted.

    Does anyone have any experience with other lenders here around rates?

    I know non banks like pepper and Liberty are doing rates around 7.5% at 80% lends for 30 years.

    However a friend of mine said he was still getting below 6% with other lenders for an industrial warehouse.

    Without knowing the specifics of 'your friend's commercial loan offer, I'm highly sceptical. Commercial lending rates have been >6% for some time now even for sub 60% LVR's.
    ANZ Commercial are notorious for under quoting their IO commercial rates too.

    P+I. Obviously with no Offset attached.

    Oh really - I will follow up with him to check. He has quite a large porfolio of commercial properties, so may be getting some scale benefit there from the bank. Pretty sure he said he was with ANZ primarily and uses liberty as a non bank occasionally but I will ask.

    Yep you are correct, it is an up to 1 mil 80% lend. Oh im 99% sure I was quoted with an offset facility but could be wrong.


    As for the other loans - all 3 around 250k remaining and around 50% LVR.

    My broker has mentioned bendigo bank are offering some attractive investment products - he has said I would be looking around the 5.75% mark there for similar products to what I have currently

    Anz sent me a notice saying my commercial rate was going up to 7.35%. This is nuts. My lvr is probably 30%

    Really?? Thats an interest rate margin of 3.25%. Im not a broker, but I would be looking to refinance elsewhere with a 30% LVR.

    Even Liberty finances advertised rate is only slightly higher than that, and they are a non bank??
