Variable rate loans are by definition “variable” and quoting one lenders rate in comparison to another serves little purpose as they can change tomorrow.
Most lenders have professional packages that offer discounted rates provided that certain conditions are met. These conditions can include a minimal level of borrowing and/or the use of a certain number of additional products. Generally these professional packages have a higher monthly fee and a borrower would have to make a decision based upon how much value they would get from the additional products.
Interest rates should always be compared on a “comparison rate basis” which takes into account the interest rate and fees on a set amount of loan over a given period. All banks publish comparison rates and they can also be accessed on the Cannex website.
PMI Is a company that offers mortgage insurance (Genworth is another). This is an insurance taken by the lender at the borrowers expense to insure the recovery of the full loan and recovery costs. This usually occurs as a result of legal action upon serious default.
This insurance gives no protection to the borrower as the insurer will pursue the borrower for the shortfall. The ability for a client to borrow when they do not have the required lenders equity has a benefit to the borrower but it comes at a cost and that is a scheduled fee based on equity and in addition state duties may apply to the premium. The cost of the premium can often be added to the loan to ease the upfront burden however this cost will then attract interest over the life of the loan.
