Aussie Home Loans Calls for Borrowers To Seek A Better Deal Following Today’s Rate Rise
Chairman of Aussie Home Loans, Mr John Symond, today urged home borrowers to urgently seek
expert help to offset the costs associated with today’s 0.25 per cent rise in official interest rates.
He said, “The latest rate rises will put pressure on borrowers with large debts but I caution them
against rushing towards fixed rate as they are already at a high premium to variable rates. The best
thing they should do is seek an industry expert to review their financial situation and find them a
better deal”.
Mr Symond said “Our research shows that more than 50 per cent of customers who speak to an
Aussie broker do not have the best home loan deal. Following the latest rate rise and the prospect of
more to come, now is a great time to access a loan with a low rate and features that match
borrower’s requirements”.
He added that Aussie’s research showed that home owners who refinance through the mortgage
broker generally save up to 0.75 per cent on the standard variable rate, which could amount to tens
of thousands of dollars over the life of the mortgage.
“The bottom line is that borrowers should not just cop the rate rises, but do something about them by
seeking a better deal with their home loans”, concluded Mr Symond.

bill and customers can get the help they need by calling 13 13 33, visiting an Aussie Shop for an
