Make your Bank … “Show You the Love”

August 26, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts

 

MY BANK LOVES ME … MY BANK LOVES ME NOT …

BankingSatSurvey_LEADDo you ever feel unappreciated when your Bank advertises amazing Home Loan deals to attract New Customers but does not offer the same amazing deals to their existing customers.

This is what we commonly refer to as the “Loyalty Tax”.

 

How can you make your Bank “Show you the Love” and offer you massive discounts off your Home Loan Interest Rates & Loan Fees ?

The simple answer is …

  1. Tell your Bank you wish to stay but are prepared to take your business elsewhere
  2. Contact your Bank via the telephone number on your Loan Statement (i.e. NOT  your local Bank Manager) to ensure you are connected to the “Client Retention Department” as this department actually has the authority to “Do what it takes to retain your business”
  3. Tell your Bank of the amazing deals which are available with other Banks
  4. Pause on the phone for 10 seconds and watch the Bank work their tails off to “Show you the Love”.

 

Why will my Bank listen to me ?

  1. All Banks are very well aware that it costs far less to authorise discounts to retain an existing customer, then the costs involved to attract new clients
  2.  There is no benefit to be achieved by the Bank if they attract 5 new customers whilst at the same time also losing 5 existing customers
  3. Your Bank is prepared to authorise discounts for the few customers who actually take the time to ask, as this is only a small expense compared to the huge profits your bank will continue to earn off the vast majority of customers who are not prepared to ask.

 

If your Bank does not appear to value your business or you are not “Feeling the Love” please click on contact our Mortgage Specialists on 07 5527 4744 as we don’t work for the Bank … WE WORK FOR YOU .

 

 

Interest Rates … Up for Investors … Down for Owner Occupiers

August 10, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts, Rate Rises

APRA

The Government Regulator (APRA) has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons within the Banking Industry by making major & immediate changes to the Investment Credit Policies & Lending Requirements for Banks.

 

The impact of these changes will vary significantly from Bank to Bank due to APRA introducing different rules & requirements for each Lender. The result of such variances is creating vastly different responses by each individual Bank with several being forced to increase interest rates on Investment Property Loans whilst others are having to reduce the maximum loan amounts they can lend to Investors. Other Banks are taking a different tact by seeking to encourage new Home Loans from Owner Occupiers by offering lower Interest Rates for Owner Occupier Home Loans and offering new Home Loan customers of up to “$2,000.00 Cash Back”.

 

With even more changes anticipated over the next few weeks there are plenty of reasons for Borrowers to be both concerned and excited however it is vital to KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR HOME LOAN and INVESTMENT PROPERTY LOAN as the Banks are making changes on a daily basis and whilst there will be amazing opportunities available there will also be many potential pitfalls to be wary of.

 

If you wish to discuss how you can navigate your way through all the confusion & ongoing changes please contact our experienced Mortgage Specialists.

This is great news for Home Buyers and Home Owners seeking a better deal from the Banks.

Are interest rates still on the way down ?

June 12, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts

RBA Governor 3

The Reserve Bank Governor (Glenn Stevens) confirmed in a speech to economists in Brisbane this week that further interest rate drops are possible however the RBA believes improvements in Government policies & spending on capital works is a preferred option to stimulate sustainable growth in the Australian economy.

The good new for Borrowers is that no-one is current talking about rates increasing from their current record low level.

Lower Rates for Owner Occupied Home Loans

June 2, 2015 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts

banks1

The Reserve Bank may have kept rates on hold for another month however many banks are now offering lower interest rates for Owner Occupied Home Loans.

Why you may ask …

The simple answer is that the banks are under pressure from ASIC + APRA + the RBA to ensure a balance is maintained between new Owner Occupied Home Loans & the ever increasing demand for new Investment Loans.

Offering amazing deals to encourage more Owner Occupied Home Loans will open the door for more Investment Loans to also be written by the banks.

The winners are the Mum’s & Dad’s, First Home Buyers & those seeking to upgrade their homes as the banks are prepared to fight to earn your business.

Talk to our Mortgage Specialists to learn how you can take advantage of this opportunity and land yourself a great deal.
