Great experience, simple process
Justin was great to work with, really made things simple and was easy to get in touch with. The ability to send a text message through and get a response was so convenient I will be taking that idea onto my own business. No unexpected costs, and the interest rate was acceptable for what we were looking for. Took a little longer than expected to get everything sorted but that's also on me.

Unfair investment loan rates for existing loyal customers
I have just checked on the website that State Custodians has a rate of 2.74% for investment loans only for new customers with a LVR lower than 60%. It is very unfair to existing loyal customers who are paying their instalments on time even in the existing Covid-19 environment and have their loans lower than 60% LVR.

Due to the dynamic nature of how funding is obtained there are times when the rate of an existing loan can differ to the rate for new loans. However, we strive to maintain low rates for all of our customers and would appreciate the opportunity to review your situation. If you could please kindly send an email to feedback@statecustodians.com.au with your name, loan number and contact information, we will take a look at it for you.

Refinance
Applied for refinance in Sept 2019. Got full conditional approval in Dec 2019, except it was for the wrong amount. Poor customer response to queries about the difference, further delays as in asking for re-submission of account history, asked for further information at the 11th hour had to re-set the loan settlement dates due to the extra amount required etc... so by the time settlement happened it was June 2020. If I had realised it would take this long I would've gone elsewhere. Seemed to struggle with property investors.

Started off with great offer, but too good to be true at the end
It's difficult to rate, as my case was handled by 4 specialists. Hence rated in the middle with the goods and bads.
Would like to highly recommend "Justin & Tony" for going above and beyond at the end to help me as much as possible in obtaining the final approval in such short amount of time with all the missing info & documents. Hoping other people can start off with the caring experts at State Custodians to manage thru the entire process.
Unfortunately in my case, the foundation was so poorly handled and managed by the initial specialist i...Read more
n the beginning of the process, made it extremely difficult for me to proceed with State Custodians at the end, due to time constraint on an off-the-plan property with the developer and the "way-off/not so ideal" final offer compared to the initial offer. Had my initial enquires and submitted my off-the-plan investment loan application with Sam in Sep-19 to start off with. Was offered 10 years interest only on great rates, with no changes to my current loans, except cutting the 1 out of the 2 credit cards. Since then I have been actively contacting Sam on a monthly basis till late Jan-20 (5 weeks prior to settlement), to ensure the offer was still valid and still able to meet settlement date. However later learnt that Sam left the company, and then learnt more surprises ever since within the weeks of settlement. From disappointing valuation report ($30K down for a 1-bedroom); missing documents on applications that were already provided months ago; to missing investment loan expenses on the initial application, which meant my original loan offer/terms was no where near where it should be with these missing pieces. With these surprises, the final offer ended up: an extra $30K cash out of pocket due to the disappointing valuation (no dispute) + reduction on my current home loan to no redraw ($150K available funds/savings gone) + to cancel all of credit cards + 5 years interest only + late settlement fee charged by the developer + many sleepless nights for weeks.1 comment

State Custodians is our preferred Lender
We approached State Custodians for a top up of our existing mortgage. Leo was fantastic, helping us navigate the paperwork and answering all our questions as we moved through the process. His attention to detail and professionalism was exceptional. Totally satisfied with all aspects of our loan.

Good rates and seemless process
I approached SC for a new investment loan. My Lending Specialist is Leonardo. The rates were good and process was relatively straight forward and fewer bureaucracy compared to a bank. I commend Leo for providing robust update on the progress. When needed he escalated matters and resolved to my satisfaction. He has been very helpful.

Excellent customer service and guidance during my loan process!
My first encounter with State Custodians was a simple enquiry on how to refinance and what products they have to offer. I was guided by Charlotte Morgan through the enquiry. Charlotte was very patient, professional, and did not push me to sign up for a loan. A few days after considering their products, and comparing it with others - I knew that I wanted to speak to Charlotte again and have her guide me through the whole process! Every time I had a small question, clarification, or anything that was worrying me during the process, Charlotte was ...Read more
a breath of fresh air and gave me a sense of security and calm. I even called through the general number and asked for her directly - the team was more than happy to assist me, transfer me through or get Charlotte to give me a callback. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, very professional, and very patient throughout the process. I'm very thankful for the world-class service and to Charlotte for being my guiding light in the whole process!1 comment

I am beyond pleasantly suprised by every aspect of my experience with Satat custodians. From the moment I got on to Charlotte she stepped me through everything in great detail and was prompt following everything up until we got our approval. She keep me in the loop the whole time and I felt fully supported and informed. Not only was it great personalised customer service ( I even had a mobile contact) but the rate was best I could find. Thank you so much state custodians and Charlotte!

The lowest rate you could receive with no hassles and quick approval
I refinanced recently with State Custodians for a variable investment home loan as their rate was the lowest available in the market with an offset facility, no fees and no max limit on additional repayments . The process was very quick and the staff are very polite. They have also passed on the discounts from RBA rate cuts. I would highly recommend them .

stuffed up at settlement and did not want to deal with it
They stuffed up at settlement time and Cora from Settlements did not want to handle it, as it was Gadens that handle settlements for State. Nectaria from Gadens refused to talk with me and Sophie Sheather, her manger tried to cover up for her and was evasive in answering my questions. Only, when I kept asking more questions, she had to come clean. Disappointed in how Sate Custodians handle complaints and did not want to take ownership of the situation.

Hannah is obliging and very well informed resulting in a no-nonsense application process. The attention paid to keeping us informed during every step of the process instilled confidence in us that we were in good hands and the rates are very competitive. If State Custodians after sales service is this good we will certainly be back for more.

OMG - So stressful to go through the formal approval process with State Custodians. I received pre-approval online as well as from the Lending Specialist a couple of days later after submitting the form. 10 days later I am still waiting for the formal approval document. The lending specialst is helpful but not the credit team. They keep coming back for more information every second day rather asking for it at once .... My settlement is in 10 days. God Help Me. I have submitted everything they have asked for and am still waiting....waiting and waiting....helplessly. Wished they could have told me from the start.
Be prepared for the long..........approval process if you decide to go with State Custodians

Dodgy valuation, poor customer service
State Custodians significantly undervalued a property purchased by me. This has been confirmed by two independent valuations which I obtained externally. I would not go ahead with a loan but time was running out and I had to complete a purchase borrowing some additional money from my friend.
As soon as a loan has been established, i needed to put some changes. Multiple calls and emails went unresponded. So, as soon as you are in, their customer service is non-existent.

r rates Our rate still remains the same for our loan with State Custodians, whereas for all other investment loans we have with different lending institutions it dropped. Your rate is not competitive anymore State Custodians, so we started thinking about refinancing from you. A difference of 0.4 per cent is toooooo high to tolerate it.3 comments

Dear Ozzi154,
Thank you for your feedback and we regret that you’ve not been happy with the experience to date.... Read more
As is the standard protocol amongst lenders we use independent valuers to undertake formal property valuations and therefore don’t have control over the valuation amount. However, it is unusual for it to be significantly short of the purchase price. It’s also very disappointing to hear that you have not received the high level of customer service we strive to provide. If you would be kind enough to please send your details to feedback@statecustodians.com.au we will look into this for you.

Hi John I would urge you to read my last review about this company. They have admitted that they made an error in reversing a payment my ex partner made and put my mortgage in arrears to the tune of $19,700.00 plus Without notifying myself as the primary borrower. The matter has been with A.F.C.A for over 6 months and both State Custodians and A.F.C.A have delayed, evaded etc etc. If you don't have a loan with them Make Absolutely no mistake. STAY WELL CLEAR.. by the way State Custodians is a wholly owned subsidiary of Resimac. You need only look at the reviews people have posted about Resimac to see who you are/will be dealing with. Plus there are better rates available elsewhere. Hope that Helps. Cheers Paul

Thanks for your question. In general we can lend up to 70% LVR on units in metropolitan areas, however with Lender’s Mortgage Insurance we may be able to lend above 70% LVR. Please note that we would need the address of the property to provide a more definitive answer, so please call us on 13 72 62 and one of our Lending Specialists will be able to assist you.
