**Real Deal At the current time, special interest rates are available for new borrowers applying for a Real Deal Home Loan for an owner occupied home with principal and interest repayments with a minimum balance of $150,000. Existing Newcastle Permanent customers are also eligible to receive the special interest rates if:
•They have a Real Deal Home Loan with principal and interest repayments and they increase it by a minimum of $150,000 in new borrowings; or
•They convert an existing Newcastle Permanent loan to a Real Deal Home Loan with principal and interest repayments and they increase it by a minimum of $150,000 in new borrowings.
Converted borrowings do not constitute new borrowings. The discount is the rate that is effective at the time the loan application is received by Newcastle Permanent and is determined by reference to the applicable Loan to Valuation Ratio (LVR). Currently, the LVR requirements are as follows:
•Special 1 – For loans with an LVR of less than or equal to 80%, a discount of 2.11% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
•Special 2 – For loans with an LVR of greater than 80%, and less than 95%, a discount of 1.36% is deducted from the Real Deal Home Loan interest rate.
