Insider Tips

When will interest rates rise ?

September 5, 2017 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts, Rate Rises

 

 

Senior Economists from Commsec (Commonwealth Bank Securities) are predicting that the Reserve Bank may retain the Official Cash Rate at the current record low level (1.50%) for up to 1 year as the Australian Economy is continuing to perform at levels that may not require any additional stimulus from the RBA.

 

This is great news for Home Owners & Buyers who can sleep easy without the fear of imminent rate rises.

 

Home Loan Rates Down . . . Investment Rates Up … RBA Rates on Hold ???

August 1, 2017 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts, Rate Rises

Record Low

The Reserve Bank Board voted this afternoon to retain the Official Cash Rate on hold for the 12th consecutive month with some Senior Economist predicting another 12 months before the RBA will raise rates. 

Understandable many investors are scratching their heads asking why their interest rates have risen over the last few months … The answer is due the new capital requirements & policy restrictions which have been imposed by ASIC & APRA resulting in a higher “Cost of Funds” for investment loans & interest only loans. 

The “Good News” for home owners / buyers is many banks have recently reduced their interest rates on “Owner Occupied” Home Loans to rates under 3.99% p.a.

Some banks have also been a tad sneaky by advertising low rates for new customers but not passing on the lower rates to existing clients unless they demand a better deal.

 If your bank is charging you higher interest rates please call DPF Mortgage Specialists (07 5527 4744) ASAP or “CONTACT US” to find out how you can stop paying more than you should be.

Pre-Approvals can cause your Finance Application to be Declined

May 2, 2017 in Insider Tips, Latest News

fingerprintMany potential borrowers believe that seeking a “Pre-Approval” from several Banks will be beneficial however most potential borrowers are not aware that these Pre-Approvals can result in their application for finance being Declined by the Banks.

WHY  ???

  1. Every time you apply for a “Pre-Approval” a “Credit Enquiry” (fingerprint) is recorded on your Credit Report even if you do not proceed with the finance
  2. Many Banks will automatically decline your Application for Finance if you have 3 or more “fingerprints” recorded on their credit report within the last 6 – 12 months
  3. DPF Mortgage Specialists can discuss your “Pre-Approval” directly with the Bank’s decision makers without leaving any fingerprints on your credit report
  4. DPF Mortgage Specialists have maintained an approval strike rate of over 99% of all finance applications lodged over the last 5 years
  5. A Pre-Approval from a Bank is not a guarantee that your application for finance will be approved, but rather this is a basic review by the Bank’s computer scoring system known as an “Approval in Principle”.

If you, your family or friends are seeking Finance Approval or Pre-Approval please call or click on “CONTACT US” & we will be more than pleased to assist you.
