Mozo Review Homestar Star Essentials Home Loan Review
Last updated: 21 May 2019.
What's hot:
Variable rates from 3.49% p.a. (3.49% p.a. comparison rate*)
Free extra repayments and redraw facility
What's not:
Valuation fee from $248.08
Legal fee from $264
Mozo snapshot:
With a number of handy features - including free extra repayments and a free redraw facility - and a low 3.49% p.a. variable rate (3.49% p.a. comparison rate), the Homestar Star Essentials Home Loan gives owner occupiers plenty to get excited about. And if you’re a refinancer borrowing between $200,000 and $750,000, you can expect to have the $250 valuation fee and $265 legal fee waived if you apply and are approved by 31 May.
Key features:
The Star Essentials Home Loan is available for owner occupiers and comes with two rate tiers. If you’re borrowing less than $750,000, you’ll receive an excellent 3.49% p.a. variable rate (3.49% p.a. comparison rate). If you plan to borrow between $750,000 and $1,000,000, you’ll receive a slightly higher variable rate of 3.74% p.a.(3.74% p.a. comparison rate*). Both come with a maximum LVR of 80%, so you’ll have to have been saving diligently for that deposit.
You’ll have a lot of say when it comes to how you’ll pay off your Homestar Star Essentials mortgage. Repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and you can make free extra repayments if you want to pay off your loan faster. If you ever need those funds back you can easily retrieve them with the free redraw facility.
While there is a $250 valuation fee and a $265 legal documentation fee, both are waived for refinancers taking out a loan of between $200,000 and $750,000. But this only applies if your application is received by 18 April 2019, approved by 31 May 2019 and settled within 90 days. No matter how much you’re borrowing, you’ll have to spring for the $535 discharge fee at the end of your loan.
Who it's good for:
Between the maximum LVR of 80% and the fact that refinancers can cash in on legal and valuation fee waivers, this one’s a top pick for borrowers looking to refinance an existing loan to a killer low rate deal.
Any catches?
Both rate tiers come with an LVR of 80%, meaning that you’ll have to have at least 20% of the property’s value on hand for the deposit.
