HSBC cuts home loan rates to new low

Anyone looking to take their first steps up the property ladder has a smorgasbord of options available to them nowadays, and HSBC is doing a lot to stand out from the pack. Recent cuts to its discounted Home Value Loan mean rates are now sitting at a super low 2.90% p.a (comparison rate 2.91% p.a*).
The offer is available to new borrowers who apply before 30 April 2020, with at least a 20% deposit. And to sweeten the deal, the usual $600 establishment fee is waived for successful applicants.
Of course, HSBC isn’t the only one offering headline rates below the 3% mark, and there are some hot offers that potential buyers would do well to have on their radar. Below we’ve compiled a few options to suit any type of borrower.
