Mortgage House’s home loans department has today announced a Discounted Low Doc Home Loan at virtually the same interest rate that many banks are offering their standard, full paperwork, variable home loans.
“The interest rates on this new Low Doc Home Loan actually reduce after the four year anniversary of the home loan, so on comparison rates the effect of the home loan rate reduction makes these home loans one of the lowest available in the market,” said Mortgage House Home Loans Managing Director Ken Sayer.
“Our Low Doc Discounted Home Loan Plus Variable Rate now hits the market at a comparison rate of 6.89%. Even on our headline home loan rate of 7.07%, this puts this low doc home loan product on par with the standard variable home loans of Commonwealth Bank, NAB, St George Bank and Westpac banking Corporation.”
“This is the one of the first low doc home loan products to recognise that borrowers should not have to pay a huge premium just for having a simplified home loan approval process.”
“Low doc home loans are a legitimate and important product for those in, for example, small business or who are self-employed. The paperwork generally needed for a standard home loan product is often an onerous burden for people in these categories and low doc home loan products simply offer them a real alternative to having to deal with the delays and significant expense of getting financial statements together to secure a simple home loan,” said Mr Sayer.
Borrowers on a Home Loan Plus Low Doc home loan also have a choice of paying an upfront fee for a lower initial home loan interest rate over 4 years (drop down) or a higher initial home loan interest rate that reduces (steps down) over 4 years
