Hello,
I am awaiting settlement on our PPOR. CUA has given unconditional approval and everything is in place - just waiting for the settlement.
Now that there is news that there will be rate cuts tomorrow, I am a bit worried. Last time I spoke to my mortgage broker about this possibility I was told "You are locked in mate. That means you also wont pay if the rates rise". I think this is misleading information that I am being provided.
If there are rate cuts announced by CUA, am I still bound by what I had opted for initially (even though I haven't settled yet) ? Don't the banks automatically pass on the new rates to fixed rate loan contracts (yet to be enforced) ?
In my circumstances, what can I do if the interest rates are reduced ?
Cheers,
