Some lenders even offer a 2 in front of a variable mortgage rate deals. Financial comparative website Mozo's mortgage market analysis showed a gap of 0.42 percentage points between principal & interest loans for homeowners and investors.
Kirsty Lamont, the website's spokeswoman, says borrowers need to be proactive and ask their bank for a better price, otherwise they should switch. The average owner-occupier rate for investors is now 3.99% compared to 4.41%. “The new amount of home loans is 3.5 percent, if you pay anything above that you pay too much.
