I have a Flexible Home Loan with ME Bank and I would like to switch it to Basic Home Loan with lower interest rate. What would be right procedure to go about it? Thanks.
Hi Damian,
Thank you for your comment.
Generally, banks do offer flexible ways to help you with your loans considering your current situation. Regarding the procedure on how to go about switching your home loan from Flexible to Basic, it might be time to talk to your bank about getting a loan check up. One of their specialists can take a look through your current loan situation and help bring it up to speed. Hoping for the best.

Hi Sangita,
Thanks for reaching out.
Yes, you can make extra repayments up to $30,000 during the fixed interest rate period. Kindly note that you are not able to redraw from a fixed interest rate facility during the fixed rate period.
I hope this helps.

I have a unencumbered property worth 1.2 m. My wife and I receive Centrelink benefits. Would we be eligible for a loan up to $150,000.
Hi Francis,
Thanks for reaching out.
You can read our guide about home loans for Centrelink recipients which explains how you can go about applying for a home loan. Here, you can also view which Centrelink benefits are accepted by lenders and you can enquire with a mortgage broker to discuss your borrowing options.
Please note that most lenders only accept government benefits as a secondary source of income and they treat these types of applications on a case-by-case basis.
If you can prove to the lender that you have sufficient assets and savings to service the loan, you may be able to qualify for finance. However, keep in mind that a lender will also review your credit history and any existing debts that you have (e.g. personal loans or credit cards) when determining your propensity to repay the loan.
All the best,
Belinda
I have fixed interest home loan for 3yrs.can I make 100% offset account, and what will be the procedure . I have zero knowledge in this matter.
Rgds
Hi Vijay,
Thanks for your enquiry.
Fixed rate home loans don’t typically offer features such as 100% offset accounts, however there are some fixed home loans that do offer this feature or alternatively, a partial offset account.
To find out whether your lender offers a 100% offset account as part of your home loan, you’ll need to contact them directly.
Otherwise you can compare different lenders that offer fixed loans with 100% offset accounts on this page.
Thanks,
Belinda

Hi Trent,
Thanks for your question.
Are you referring to an SMSF home loan? At this current point in time ME Bank doesn’t have this facility available. If you’d like, you can compare a range of SMSF home loans on this page.

What is your variable rate . Looking to refinance

What is the maximum LVR allowed for a refinance?
Can i have my whole loan fixed, or does a portion have to be variable?
Hi Karen,
Thanks for your question.
The maximum LVR you can refinance to depends on the specific loan you choose to apply for. You can your whole loan either fixed or variable, again this depends on the specific type of loan you choose.
If you’d like advice on your home loan, you may want to speak to a mortgage broker.

Hi Aaron,
thanks for the question.
Super can’t be used for a home loan deposit unless you have a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) being used to purchase an investment property.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
