    Thank you, but still awfully high. Hope with the servicability assessment being reduced, it's an opportunity to say 'goodbye and good riddance'.

    Don't count on it. The modelling I've done suggests increases of roughly 10% - 15% in some cases.

    Those with higher interest rates (such as you're leaving some loans with Liberty), will find their borrowing capacity actually does down.

    Bankwest passing on the whole .25% as well. Wasn't expecting them to pass on the whole thing, but happy they are!

    All these lenders seem to need 2 - 3 weeks to type a few characters into a computer!

    Fixed rates are fixed, banks don't cut fixed rates for existing mortgages. :rolleyes::p

    If you mean new mortgages, it would be ridiculous locking in a rate now, because the market is expecting up to 2 more rate cuts later this year! :eek:o_O
