    What is the difference between an application fee which is advertised as $0 and a settlement fee which is $160. To me they are the same!

      Hi Sue,

      Thank you for reaching out to Finder.

      I understand that the application fee and settlement fee seems to be the same and could be confusing. An application fees are normally the upfront fee when you apply for a home loan. While a settlement fee is normally charged prior to the closing of a mortgage loan for expenses such as survey costs, appraisal (valuation) fee, attorney’s fee, insurance, etc.

      Hope this helps.

      Kind Regards,
      Mai

      Hi Erika!

      Thanks for the comment.

      You can check your options on our guide about refinancing home loans.

      Once you’re on that page, please feel free to compare your options using our table.

      You can also ask for help from a mortgage broker. A mortgage broker is a professional who compares and helps you apply for home loans on your behalf. A good mortgage broker will give you personalised service all the way through to settlement.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

    Hi,

    I am dealing with a broker who has suggested a few lenders. It’s the first for me. Inexperienced as such. Is it true that brokers commission from the customer in a way that the bank such as ANZ would increase rates or fees to pay the broker? Just curious. Also, with the simplicity plus home loan at 4.03%, is it true you can withdrawal on available credit slightly different to that of an offset account? If details can be provided that Would be fantastic!

      Hi Jordan,

      Thank you for your question and for contacting finder.com.au we are a financial comparison website and general information service we are not mortgage specialists so can only offer general advice.

      Basically, mortgage brokers receive a commission or fee from lenders. Their fees would vary depending on the volume of transactions they have. Their commission is not related to when a bank/lender would increase their rates and fees so they can pay the broker. On this page, you can find more information how mortgage brokers are paid.

      As for the ANZ Simplicity PLUS Home Loan, it has a fee-free redraw facility, which allows you to withdraw any extra payments you’ve made on your home loan. Please read through our guide on how a redraw facility works on home loans to learn more.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Annah,

      Thanks for your question.

      The terms and conditions of the discounted rate of 4.03% did not mention that it is an introductory offer. The rate applies to applications received on or after Friday 22nd July 2016 and this offer may be withdrawn or changed at any time. The applicable interest rate may be amended or varied at any time.

      Cheers,
      Anndy

    I currently have an ANZ Simplicity Plus home loan. I now notice this does not have an offset account. If I were to change to another home loan at another bank with a better home loan package, what fees or costs would be associated with moving my existing loan to another bank?

      Hi Miriam,
      thanks for the question.

      This loan has a discharge fee of $160 which would apply if moving your loan from one bank to another. For other fees and charges it’s a good idea to contact ANZ and get a quote of the fees you’ll have to pay when exiting.

      I hope this helps,
      Marc.
