The term of the loan also varies depending on whether you’re an owner occupier or investor, for instance if you’re an owner occupier you can secure a fixed rate for a period of 1 year up to 5 years, while investors have to choose between 1, 3, or 5 year terms. There is a monthly service fee to consider.

Was having some difficulty with a few other banks. Until I was told to call Vanessa M and what a legend of a phone call that was. Not only did Vanessa sort out my home loan with unreal speed and determination but she has made all my dreams come true. I have never seen someone work as hard as her. If you had a question it was already answered, if you had some doubt.. it was quickly lifted. If your life was in a muddle and didn’t know how to change the way you managed your money she quickly changed that and steered me in the right direction. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that wants nothing but the best. Absolute unreal lady and she is an absolute asset to anyone that knows her. Thanks again Vanessa, I appreciate everything you have done for my family and I.

Avoid them! Started off ok, but rate has randomly increased. Terrible service, terrible site, it was just a terrible decision to refinance with them.

I have just switched from IMB. Their rates are not competitive, especially not for their loyal customers. After you have been on their home loan for a while you may notice that they introduce a new home loan and allow your product to increase in interest rate while their new customers get a much better rate. Also they are not open to negotiating properly, apparently they would rather lose their customers than take the interest rate down. No problems as there are good quality loans out there to switch to, and I recommend taking the trouble to switch as you will save thousands.
