    Not necessarily if that's all the lending you have with them - there's not much room for negotiation on such a small loan amount.

    BOQ is currently offering better rates than that for IPs.

    Can you blame them?
    They probably gave you the standard rate in hopes that you would go away ;)

    $100k really isn't much, but you can almost certainly do better than that. It is somewhat dependant on LVR as well, but 5.25% is too high.

    What kind of IP are you buying with 100k?

    It is high...even for the small loan amount.
    I assume the LVR is below 80% given the relatively small borrowing?

    Your lender choice should never be based on rate alone, unless you are in a position where you have almost unlimited equity and income.

    You need to account for future needs. ie sensible policies RE equity release/cash out, Interest Only, servicing, etc...

    It's not possible to anticipate every possible future requirement, but you can at least take a 3-5 year view and try not to snooker yourself :)

    Having said that, 5.25% seems pricey

    There are often higher rates that apply for smaller loan size (e.g. it could be NAB at 90% for that loan size would be 100k, a 5.25% rate applies for investment loans without much room for negotiation). When required for servicing, you may end up paying a bit of a premium that doesn't give you much wiggle room. Perhaps explore your options, you may be able to do better - the benchmark is quite low!

    It's a bit high - but as others have mentioned, it's a relatively small loan so lenders won't be pricing sharply on it.

    Some smaller/second tier guys may serve you best if rate is of primary importance.

    Cheers

    $100k isn't an amount lenders are going to negotiate on, but most lenders do have basic products without the bells and whistles that are cheaper.
