LVR stands for loan to value ratio at loan approval. LVR is the amount of the loan compared to Suncorp Bank’s valuation of property offered to secure the loan as a percentage. For loans secured by residential property with a LVR of over 80%, or for loans secured by commercial property with a LVR of over 70%, a margin will be added to your interest rate. Loans secured by residential property with a LVR of over 100%, and loans secured by commercial property with a LVR of over 80% may be considered subject to Suncorp Bank’s lending criteria.
One offset facility available per group of related borrowers. Offsets are capped at $1,000,000 and are only available on lending where security is acceptable to the Bank. Terms and conditions apply.
