How competitive are ING’s home loan rates?
ING offers fairly competitive rates for its home loans, especially on its variable rate Mortgage Simplifier loan which generally has sharper interest rates than similar products in the market.
As for its fixed home loan rates, ING is pretty much on par with other lenders. Its fixed rates for investment properties are a bit more competitive than its owner-occupier loans. It's possible that they’re trying to attract more borrowers into the niche investor market for its home loans, an area it has been relatively weak in traditionally
While ING’s rates are decent value compared to other lenders, it's still worthwhile looking at other options to ensure that you're getting the most suitable home loan for your situation.
Compare ING’s home loan rates to other non-major lenders:
What are ING’s lowest home loan rates?
The lowest interest rate currently available at ING is seen in its Mortgage Simplifier variable rate home loan for both its 60% and 70% LVR bands.
If you’re wanting to compare fixed rate home loans, ING’s one and two year term investor loans at an LVR band of 70% or 80% are its lowest fixed rate products. The owner-occupier's fixed home loan will have a slightly higher fixed rate, but is at its lowest for the two-year duration at an LVR of 70% or 80%.
