Then what happens when you ask to increase in the loan , do they give a larger discount, are they not concerned with what security you have, or how you propose to service loan. It matters to my bank managers. Different securities have different rates and different LVRs. In 2010 I asked St George about increasing a loan first they said no more because they didn't like to lend more than $1.2 m even tho my LVRs were only 50%. Broker put the loan out to tender St g and Westpac only ones interested St G tendered 9%, 2.0 more than existing loan there. West Pac tendered 7% + .05 line fee on the provision the loan was more than $600k and less than $1.2m again they don't like lending more than that. In feb I sold one of the 6 crossed properties no problem West Pac said I could keep the same loan limit but I told them to reduce it effectively reducing the interest rate by reducing the line fee. Higer loan amounts don't necessarily mean cheaper rates.
