**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.
