    Looking to refix an existing loan with NAB.

    NAB offered us a rate of 3.89% Principal and Interest repayments or Interest only repayments , same rate for both on investment loan. This is to renew a current fixed NAB loan for a 3 year term. LVR is less than 75%. Loan amount is 380000.

    They offered 2 years fixed at 3.90 PI or 4.00 for IO

    I know Ubank is 3.69% for 3 years but this is easier and seems like a good deal.

    Very tempted to take the 3 year fixed IO with NAB, I am making the assumption that if fixed rates rise and we decided to sell in 2 years that the economic break fees will be nil or very low.

    Is this a reasonable assumption?

    Cheers
    Kevin

    I am with Nab at the moment and my rate is 3.9% for my OC loan. Found that HSBC is having a good rate at the moment. 3.55% for owner occupiers. Thinking to refinance....

    Dear all,

    I am going to buy a property in Perth. I am wondering what bank and rate you guys are recommending. I am trying to go with ANZ and NAB. Do you recommend having fixed or variable rate? if so, 30% Variable 70% Fixed or 50%:50%. thanks.

    Your question is a bit vague!

    The lender you go with will have a lot more to do with your future plans and your servicing - the rate is important but usually comes second to making sure the bank is right for you.

    In terms of variable vs fixed, again it depends - it's usually best to have a conversation about your plans and circumstances to establish the best way forward. :)

    You need to ride a bike instead. It'll fix the health problem too.

    Adrian, at a 45% lvr that is a bit rich even for a loan of $235,000.

    You might have been better off in increasing the loan to > 250k even if the secondary split of $15,000 was repaid on settlement.

    The larger loan size might have got you a higher discount.

    I got offered variable 4.45% at 89% LVR with a loan sub 450k with cba.

    Seems a bit high.

    CBA and the majors in general aren't playing the pricing game much at this time. A few months ago that amount of lending would have potentially got you 4.06%. There are other options closer towards the 4% mark, but it depends what your overall needs are - CBA remain as a very flexible lender for investors building their initial portfolio.

    I've been told by several mortgage brokers that'd they generally use cba first during the accumulation phase. I'll see if I can negotiate the rate a bit.
