Gives us room to smash the remaining variable portion (once I take a break from spending money on the house for a bit) over the next couple of years with the 100% offset accounts, but still have a fair chunk of security in case interest rates do funny things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure they're at record lows atm and I didn't wanna take the risk, given rates have started to go back up again for the first time in a while.My fixed portion is actually a lower interest rate than my variable, winning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever the interest rates change my payment stays the same but a different amount of interest is added each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local business- was the owner of the business who came out to measure and quote and emailing me since. Excellent customer service, really knowledgeable and seems to actually give a sh*t. He's also happy to do the blinds in stages without any extra cost, so I can get the blinds fitted in stages as I paint the house. Thinking I'll go with blockout roller blinds throughout the house in this fabric. And then we'll go with Luxaflex duette honeycomb blinds in the master bedroom, as they'll be the best option to minimise potential light bleed with the setup we've got. Also really good for energy efficiency and temp control. Edited 04/05/17 12:54 AM by .Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
