What is Finder Score?

The Finder Score crunches 7,000 home loans across 120+ lenders. It takes into account the product's interest rate, fees and features, as well as the type of loan eg investor, variable, fixed rate - this gives you a simple score out of 10.

To provide a Score, we compare like-for-like loans. So if you're comparing the best home loans for cashback, you can see how each home loan stacks up against other home loans with the same borrower type, rate type and repayment type. We also take into consideration the amount of cashback offered when calculating the Score so you can tell if it's really worth it.

    We have an investment property – but for the last 14 years one of our family members (part owner) has occupied this property and will continue to occupy for the unforeseen future.
    How should our current loan be structured

      AvatarFinder
      RebeccaNovember 11, 2022Finder

      Hi Colette,

      If you’re not using the property as an investment property you might want to consider switching to an owner-occupier loan. It is best to speak to a mortgage broker or your bank about what option is right for your circumstances.

      If your loan is currently with Westpac, you can also ring them for guidance at 131 900.

      Kind regards,
      Rebecca

    We are selling our home to live on a boat. A oat has come up that we like but we would need bridging finance of 155000. Can you help? Thank you

      Hi Jeanette,
      thanks for the question.

      Unfortunately as we’re not Westpac but rather a comparison service, we cannot answer this. I would recommend you contact Westpac directly for more information. Note that some lenders might not offer a bridging loan in this situation as they will not classify the boat as security in the same way residential property is, meaning they might recommend a personal loan to finance the boat rather than a home loan. It would be useful to contact a mortgage broker directly for more information.

      I hope this helps,
      Marc.

    because i am not able to understand them?
    when i asked at the bank what this charges mean? she said she will have to find out as she is not sure?

      Hi Dina,

      Thanks for your enquiry.

      You’ve come through to finder.com.au which is an online comparison service, so please note that we don’t represent Westpac or their home loan products.

      Without knowing which charge your referring to, I’m afraid we can’t be of much assistance.

      Your best course of action would be to wait and speak with a Westpac representative again.

      Kind regards,
      Belinda

    Hi as a non resident but a NZ citizen, can I apply for a home loan with Westpac, and/or be on the same loan document as an Australian resident.

    Thanks

      Hi Jan,

      Thanks for your question.

      Yes this possible, though you are still required to meet Westpac’s lending criteria.

      Also, you’ll need to apply over the phone or within a branch (remember to bring all your documentation with you).

      Cheers,
      Shirley

    Currently we do all our banking with Commonwealth bank, we have an Investment Home loan for 398000 and our residential home loan of 498000,
    what benefits would we receive if we switched to Westpac

    regards

      Hi Linda,

      Thanks for your comment.

      This question is probably best directed at Westpac. Their point of difference would probably best their customer service, as their interest rates are generally the same.

      Cheers,
      Shirley
