HOME LOAN OPTIONS TO CONSIDER
Home loans can include fixed, variable, split and interest-only repayment options. The features, costs and suitability of each option will depend on your circumstances, objectives and the lender’s criteria. Our team can explain the differences and help you compare suitable loan options.
Fixed-Rate Mortgages
A fixed-rate home loan keeps the interest rate unchanged for an agreed period. This can make repayments easier to budget for. However, fixed-rate loans may offer less flexibility. Break costs may also apply if you refinance or repay the fixed portion early.
Variable-Rate Mortgages
A variable-rate home loan has an interest rate that can change over time. It may offer useful features and repayment flexibility, but repayments can increase if rates rise. The available features and suitability will depend on the lender, loan product and your circumstances.
Interest-Only Mortgages
With an interest-only home loan, you pay only the interest for an agreed period. The loan principal does not reduce during that period. Initial repayments may be lower, but repayments can increase when the interest-only period ends. Suitability depends on your circumstances, objectives and the lender’s criteria.
Split Mortgages
A split home loan divides the loan between fixed-rate and variable-rate portions. This can provide some repayment certainty while keeping flexibility on the variable portion. However, managing two loan portions may be more complex. The available split structure and loan features will depend on the lender and your circumstances.
