WHAT WILL MY MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS BE?

Please see our MORTGAGE REPAYMENT CALCULATOR.

Please note…

The credit union will seek legal advice on all proposed transactions under this category.

In the event the credit union is defrauded, it reserves the right to pursue matters with the appropriate regulatory authority.

In the event the loan term extends past the consumer’s expected retirement age, the credit union will take appropriate account of the adequacy of the member’s likely income and ability to continue to meet obligations under the credit agreement in retirement.

It is the policy of the credit union to pursue defaulting members for repayment of outstanding home loans. The Board authorises the repossession of property that has been held as security against a housing loan after all appropriate resolution processes have been exhausted.

Fees

The Borrower is liable to pay the legal fees, costs, and outlay (excluding costs associated with the Lender’s legal investigation of title for the purpose of the legal mortgage and charge) incurred in respect of the loan.
