Re: RAMS refinance cancellation nightmare

Hi Charles_abc,

This is a tricky situation and it would be best to speak with the Credit Ombudsman.

With my thinking, as you have signed the loan documents, you agreed for RAMS to fund the loan. So once the funds were sent to the account, this completed the transaction.

This is not the answer you want to hear but if you want to go back to NAB, you will need to wait 6 months and refinance them back.

Call the Credit Ombudsman to discuss your situation, as this is super uncommon.

OR you can request RAMS to match the NAB rate that they offered.

Good Luck!

Re: 80% LVR Property Valuation

Hi kn13,

With the Kerbside valuations, they are usually on mark with your purchase price as long as you are not paying too much for the property. Display homes are ideally a great product both internally and externally. If you are saying values are going around $699,000, there should not be too much of an issue.

To wait 4-5 days for a valuation to be done is way too long. Especially a Kerbside. They always use local valuers so there is always a high chance of the same valuer doing it.

Re: 85% home loan with no LMI / waived LMI

Hi Mark_mindy,

Without town sewerage, there are only a number of lenders who would consider this up to 70%.

Is this security on a very large acreage and does it have its own water?

At 85%, this lender is restricted to normal standard securities.

Re: Can I get a home loan with Bad Credit of $15000

Hi Iamnuke,

The current amount of defaults, you've either paid or unpaid, is quite large for a mainstream lender to consider.

When defaults are of this size, we need to work with specialist lenders to borrow up to 90% of the property value on an interest rate higher then the norm. But once your defaults fall off your report, the banks can consider you to refinance back into normal rates.

With a specialist lender, you'd need at least a 10% deposit + 5% for stamp duty and fees.

When were your defaults listed? Are they paid or unpaid? What are they and why did it get this far?

Re: Home loan selection

Hi Chiru!

In my personal opinion put out of the lenders rate wise BankAust has it in the bag but if the Lenders Mortgage Insurance is much higher then this will play against you as this means more funds from you and more funds are going to paid to LMI.

The rate difference of 0.09% is not much to haggle over when the LMI is much higher.

You need to work out the difference that the 0.09% is and how long it would take to recoup against the LMI difference.

There is other ledners who rate is about 4.19% with a mortgage insurer that should be cheaper then the ones you have advise.

What are the figures of your loan and proeprty value?

Re: should I sell or keep current apartment

Hi Adriancito10,

Based on your current income and situation, the maximum lend is about $545,000.

We would not be able to hold on both properties at the same time but the sale of your home will net about $220,000 with the loan amount of $545,000 can get close to what you want to purchase for.

Maximum purchase price based on this about $700,000.

Re: probability of getting loan for Melbourne apartment?

Hi Citygal!

Melbourne CBD will be in a situation of over supply soon with less people in the market due to the investment changes with the banks.

If you are looking at getting a studio, it needs to be at least 45 sqm to be able to lend over 80%.

With most banks, they are lending at maximum 80% to investments or not at all.

If you are purchasing to occupy or reside in the property then there are no issues and we can lend up to 95% with competitive rates.

With your current situation, we are in a strong income and deposit to play ball. Maybe buy a house and land for investment and see how the unit situation in Melbourne CBD will go.

Re: Buying an established accommodation business

Hi petad,

With the current security being a short term accommodation security, this would mean that we would need to put this with a commercial lender. When we approach commercial lenders, the maximum lending is usually around the 65% marker.

With what you are looking at doing, we would require a much larger deposit being about $525,000.

If you have a guarantor or other properties yourself, you can use it as security support to obtain more funding. Rate wise we are looking at about a 6-8% rate depending on the lender.

Re: What is the best LVR for a commercial development

Hi Kumudu,

The maximum LVR would be 50% with no pre-sales. With pre-sales, it would be around a 65% - 70% lend. There can be as many applicants as you like. There are no limits :)

If you want to discuss this in detail, you can call 1300 889 743 or check out our website.

Re: Is it better to pay off personal loan before saving depo

Hi Coola!

Thank you for telling me your situation and glad your head is back in the right place =D

The question you have put up is a age old question and can be debated for hours.

Based on your current income and debt about the maximum lend is quite low which is around the $200,000 marker. This in Australia does not really get you much. If you concentrate on paying out the debt that you have then your borrowing power goes back up to about $360,000. You will need then start to save a 10% deposit which will allow a 95% home loan lend and 5% for stamp duty and fees.

In saying this if you wait around then property prices will increase, a possible scenario is if you have access to a parent who can help you with a Family Pledge Product which can help you into a investment property and this way you have one property.

There is no right way, best option i can think is pay down that loan as quick and start putting funds together for a new purchase.

Re: Hardship assistance

Hi Netilicious52

Thank you for your enquiry, a few questions?

- How much is your property worth and how much do you owe?
- How much are you in arrears at the moment?

Normal mainstream lenders will not assist here and we may have to go to a specialist lender to get your out of this lender then refinance to a normal lender in 12 months

Re: Not able to get loan approved for block near power lines

Hi mate,

Usually the lender will be advised in the final valuation if there are any power lines.

The mains ones they are looking for is the high voltage ones with the big Eiffel tower power lines.

Re: Family equity loan

Hi Missile R,

Apologiues for the delay in response I was a away for a bit.

To purchase a home for $370,000 the bank would require approximately $100,000 to support you.

It will be dependant on how much their home is worth, if it is worth $400,000 and they owe $300,000 then this would not work as there is no buffer for them. If the property is worth $400,000 and they owe $200,000 then yes it would work.

Re: Family equity loan

Anytime =D

Incomes looks strong at the moment, i will have the run the final figures you can run some using the"How Much I can borrower Calculator"

To see if the parents have enough equity you can use the Guarantor Home Loan Calculator.

Or reply back to this thread with their current value and current home loan balance.
