loan rate advice, page-3

Cheers Passive,

So if I was to meet with my lender or other institutions as planned I understand I should negotiate for a lower than market rate than the current 9.30% variable or 8.39% 1year fixed.

Now would I recieve a discounted variable rate pending on the amount I borrow or at all and would they only consider a discounted rate if i was to fix the loan/loans for say a year or more??
