Home Loan Fees

We've done our best to minimise or eliminate as many of the fees as possible, especially upfront and ongoing fees. If you are a standard applicant (PAYG borrower buying 1 property in most metropolitan areas), you will pay:

  • No application fees
  • No valuation fee
  • No legal fee
  • No settlement fee
  • No redraw fee
  • No additional repayment fee
  • No ongoing fee
Note on legal disbursements: Our lawyers will need to pass on to you any out-of-pocket expenses they incur in processing your loan. These include title searches, bank cheque fees, the cost of getting an agent to attend settlement, etc. These expenses typically add up to $115-$250 depending on the number of securities, bank cheques, settlement location, etc. Typically lenders charge an additional legal fee for their time - MyRate does not do this.

The full schedule is below. You might also like to see our education centre for more information on fees, including government fees.

OTHER FEES
Non proceeding fee When MyRate values your house, an accredited valuer costs us about $220. If you become a MyRate customer we are very happy to absorb this cost. However if, after we've done the valuation, you do not become a customer (you decide not to proceed or final credit requirements aren't met) we will need to recoup the cost (usually $220 but may be more in some cases). Additional fees of approx $175 may apply if contracts have already been prepared.
