Offset available

While homeloans.com.au aren’t able to offer a traditional offset account (because they’re a non-bank lender), they do provide borrowers with the option of a free, ‘100% offset portion’ linked to the loan which essentially works in the same way. Just bear in mind that offset funds won’t be covered by the Federal Government’s Financial Claims Scheme (FCS).

Poor customer service and Poor online service

The only good thing for this mortgage provider is their interest rates. Very poor customer service, and basic website. I needed to change my direct debit details for a mortgage payment due the next day, and the customer care was not able to change bank details over the phone. There was also no way to change these details online. I would not recommend them to anyone. There are other institution that offer similar rates but without the hassle.

Misleading and waste your time.

I wanted to buy a property in a regional area. I was informed they service the area but at a reduced amount. The reduced amount serviced met my needs and I was told to make an official application. The loan was declined as they do not service the area the property is in. Extremely poor customer service. I would not recommend this company. They wasted two weeks and the decline is now on my credit rating. Would any reasonable person apply for a loan if the lender doesn't service that area? Protect your credit rating and save yourself the time. Steer clear of homeloans.com.au

Awful.

Awful company. Zero customer service with extremely unhelpful staff who make you feel like you are hassling them. They told me the best rate I could get was the 5.25% I was currently on. When I asked to discharge the loan, they demanded a $500 discharge fee. Terrible. Avoid at all costs.
