Bankwest

Yea another dollar in the swear jar.

Do they do upfront vals for refinance yet?
And will they do up to 90 or 95% lvr on it? Lmi having been paid already.

And will this beast be easily tamed for cash out at the above lvrs?

Thanks for the help

Cheers

some brokers can do up front valuations. You can go to 90% and cash out up to 50K with commentary only. Between 50K and 100K at 90% you need evidence.
 
They'll also take about 21 days to approve your deal. It's a joke! I don't know how they continue to stay in business.

Suncorp

Thanks for all that.

Will have to see if a val will come in anywhere close to expectations first. Then we will see how their timing is.

Also Hows suncorp on the above questions atm?

Cheers
 
If you are already with Bankwest and have paid LMI probably better staying there.

You just need one of their 'premium' brokers who can order an upfront val for free with a 4 day assessment turnaround time once file submitted

just email a few and ask if they are premium brokers or better still the BW premium brokers on this forum could just PM you or post on this thread

Pretty sure I'm not a premium broker given I avoid BankWest if possible (for all the reasons mentioned above) so my volumes with them are almost non existent these days. I can order upfront valuations with them however. I suspect they're trying to buy back some brokers - get your broker to send an email to their BDM and they may be able to get that valuation done.
 
I just lodged a few days ago to refinance with them after purchasing two weeks ago.
Got told a two week wait for approval and two week wait until the money in available.

This may have changed but I was told a while back that they order a second valuation if there is a broker ordered val and guess which one they use? The mind bogles.

Truth be told, I wouldn't know because I haven't lodged a deal with them in ages, simply on the basis of lousy service and dodgy products. There's a very narrow number of reasons why I'd consider recommending BW simply on the basis that in my experience, they really are that bad.
 
If broker emails BDM they will be able to do an upfront.

I feel battered and bruised all you East Coasters bank bashing the locals :p

Have to agree though!
 
Whilst we're on the topic of Bankwest.

My first IP is with Bankwest, loan was approx 90% upon acquisition. Now that some equity has been gained in the property i'm looking to draw the loan up to 90% again and cash out for a deposit on my next IP.

Is there anything inherently bad about using Bankwest for the first few IP's?

I'm guessing that their serviceability calcs are quite stringent so not worth using them further down the line.

BW's policy is actually not bad and they do have some parameters on paper. It's their turnaround times, call wait times and backend processes that leads them to haemorrhage quite severely.
