Hi,
Has anyone bad experience with Homeside?
I am about to apply for pre-approval for my first IP and have narrowed it down to 2 lenders. I am looking to borrow $400k interest only offset a/c with max 90% LVR (hopefully 85%)
I have spoken to 2 brokers
Broker 1:
St George Advantage Package @ 6.73%, $395 annual fee
Broker 2:
Homeside @ 6.57%, $120 annual fee
Broker 1 has told me to stay clear of Homeside, that they are a nightmare to deal with, slow with applications and generally difficult. I have heard this from others also.
Broker 2 insists that she has a good relationship with Homside blah blah and all will be fine.
I have worked out that going with Homeside will save me approx $1k per annum + $1k in LMI so over 5 years would work out approx $6k cheaper.
so is there any reason why I should not go with Homeside? Are they as difficult as I have heard and would i be better off paying the extra $$ for better service?
all and any advice is welcome
Thanks,
Ryan.
