    Just a quick question if you qualify for a mortgage repayment break for 6 months will that time be counted towards your fixed interest term. I have 4 investment home loans, one house is becoming vacant in 10 days with little to no interest from potential tenants, another property the tenants have just asked for a $100 week decrease in rent. All 4 properties are on fixed IO loan of 4.09% due to come off in December. If I get mortgage repayment relief for 6 months will that mean I will only need to wait 2 months before I come off fixed and can renogiate rates? Cheers

    It's probably best to actually ring your bank and talk to them, because I don't doubt that different banks follow different rules in regards to this.

    I am curious to hear if anyone else has an answer though.

    I'm in a fixed rate that has ended and the bank says they are too busy to fix it for a month or so....They will sort it and adjust the overcharge cost later. So I have a three year fixed rate that lasts 37-38 months.

    To my knowledge, deferment does not extend fixed length

    I work in a bank but not in this department so cannot be sure plus we are not extending loan terms, could be different for banks that are offering to extend loan terms too
