Floating rates are always quoted - rates can be reviewed with 14 day's notice.
Regulated loans (lending to individuals for the purpose of purchasing a home loan) are governed by the CCCFA and DBR's fee is normally a maximum of 1% or $1,500, whichever is the greater, and accordingly our interest rate will be higher than non-regulated loans (lending to trusts / companies / individuals for business / investment purposes).
Guarantors
Should obtain independent legal advice.
Term / Rollovers
The term of the loan is detailed in the loan offer. DBR does provide rollovers but the same approval fee is normally applicable. Clients requiring a rollover must usually have a clean repayment history.
Purpose
Only legitimate borrowing requirements will be considered. DBR does not want to enter into transactions that disadvantage the borrower or another party.
Payments
Monthly interest-only payments in arrears. DBR can lend the borrower the interest upfront and place the funds with a lawyer to ensure a clean repayment history is obtained at the end of the term to assist with bank refinance.
GST
If the borrower has claimed GST then DBR deducts GST off the valuation amount to establish the Loan to value ratio.
Security
First registered mortgages over freehold security property and sometimes leasehold property.
Personal Guarantees
General Security Agreement (Mortgage Debenture) for some company borrowers.
Conditions Precedent to Drawdown

Refunds
In the unlikely event that the valuation or DBR's inspection does not meet with DBR's satisfaction then the fee paid to date will be refunded (less any valuation, legal and inspection fees incurred) and no further fees will be payable to DBR.
Inspection Fees
Nil in Auckland and between $500 and $1,000, depending on where the security is and how many of DBR's staff are required to inspect the property.

Generally DBR allow 10 days for the loan to draw down after which a holding fee of 12% p.a. accrues daily as we have allocated the funds to you.
