The lending goal posts have recently changed, particularly for investors. With bank policies moving significantly in the last two weeks it has become very confusing to keep abreast of all of them.

Rest assured at Glenferrie Group we are constantly tracking these changes and we stand ready to guide you through the myriad of product and rate changes being implemented. There has never been a more pertinent time to have your current loan product and structure reviewed as what was once suitable may now be costing you thousands in extra interest per annum.

Please note this “peace of mind” free loan review is open to all valued Glenferrie Group clients, their families and friends.

As you may or may not be aware the major banks have tightened their lending criteria for investment purposes. But this tightening does not apply to loans for principal residences. If you are planning on renovating or updating the car etc now could be the time to use the equity in your home at very competitive rates.

At Glenferrie Group we keep our finger on the interest rate pulse and can source some of the best deals on offer in the market place. Please call to see if there are savings to be had for your particular family budget.

A prepayment of next year’s investment loan interest can bring forward a tax deduction to this year rather than wait until next year. Right now we have access to some very attractive lending rates for borrowers who wish to take advantage of a voluntary pre-payment of interest on their investment loans. 

With interest rates at historical lows, what better time is there than now to fix a rate for 1 year, prepay interest and claim a tax deduction.

Applications for this product are strictly for a limited time only and must be settled by 29/05/2015. (specific lenders terms & conditions apply).

Is another rate cut on the RBA’s agenda? The Housing Industry Association’s (HIA’s) economist Shane Garrett certainly believes it should be, and the sooner the better, “the RBA has strongly hinted that rates may be lowered in the months ahead and the rate should be cut again in April in order to dispel any uncertainty”.

Right now we have access to some very attractive commercial lending rates for established premises with indicative fixed rates available for 3 years @ 4.39% pa or variable rates from 5.28% pa (lenders terms & conditions apply).

At its first board meeting of the year in February, the RBA chose to cut the cash rate from its previous record low of 2.5% – where it was held for 15 consecutive months. Tim Lawless, head of research CoreLogic RP Data says the rate cut is likely to bring the cost of mortgage debt to its lowest level since July 1968, which the Reserve Bank should be mindful of in the context of the housing market.

“Lower mortgage rates have the potential to add some fuel to what are already strong housing market conditions (dwelling values in Australia’s capital cities have already increased by 19.6% since interest rates started falling back in November 2011),” he said.

“However, the stimulus from lower rates may not be as influential on housing market conditions as what we have seen in the past.”

Given the prevailing low interest rates now is a good time to consider reviewing your existing Lenders interest rates. If you’re considering renovating, whether of a major nature or simply a cosmetic refurbishment, why not let us show you how this may be possible by using the equity you already have in your property!

Have you reviewed your mortgage lately? Many of us tend to take a ‘set and forget’ approach to our mortgage. There are many advantages to this but the primary disadvantage is that we may no longer be receiving the best deal possible. And worse there could be some fees attached to it that are no longer applicable to newer loans. Bottom line is we may all be paying more than we have to.

To start the new year off Glenferrie Group are offering the opportunity to have your mortgage reviewed. With our state of the art mortgage comparison software I’m sure we will find something that will swing the new year budget in your favour. If this is something that appeals to you then please call Peter on 9912 1212 to discuss your complimentary appraisal.

At its last board meeting held recently the RBA again chose to leave the official cash rate at 2.5%, marking the 15th consecutive monthly meeting in which the Bank has chosen to remain on the sidelines.

Could the lower price of oil together with a continued downturn in commodities lead to a reduction in interest rates. With the growth in prices slowing and many countries in Asia and Europe concerned about deflation there could be delays in interest rate rises or even cuts in some countries. A growing number of analysts are suggesting that there could be a cut in interest rates if inflation continues to be sluggish. Assuming any rate cuts are passed on to consumers that could mean good news on home loan repayments. We are continuing to see evidence of lenders’ competing for market share by offering further reductions in both fixed and variable product offerings.
