As we work with a range of lending providers, we can find an excellent rate for you, depending on your own financial situation and goals. Click here to contact us and find out what our rates are today.
A fixed-rate home loan will keep your interest rate and regular repayments at a fixed amount for a fixed period of time, and will then revert to a variable rate. A variable rate home loan will result in interest rates and, therefore, repayments, moving up and down depending on the housing market and economic conditions. We can discuss the implications of both with you and how to structure it most efficiently to achieve your own goals.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is a payment that can be made upfront, or built into the loan, to protect the lender if you are looking to borrow more than 80% (typically) of the property’s value. This can allow you to purchase your home or investment property sooner if you only have a smaller deposit.

A ‘Principal and Interest’ loan is one where the principal and interest amounts are repaid over the lifetime of the loan. An ‘Interest-Only’ loan however, is one where you are able to just pay the interest amount off for a fixed period of time. This is typically not allowed for the lifetime of the loan but can be a substantial period. Click here to speak to us and find out which is a more appropriate solution based on your financial goals.
A Loan to Value Ratio measures the true financial value of your property in relation to how much you are looking to borrow. It allows us to determine whether Lenders Mortgage Insurance would be required for your loan. The Loan to Value Ratio is calculated using the following formula:
LVR = (Loan Value / Property Value) x 100
It is important to remember that the price you paid for the property may not equal the value.
For some interest-only fixed-rate loans, you will have an option to prepay your interest. For example, you could prepay next year’s interest today and claim it back as a deduction in this financial year. This can be beneficial for you in reducing your taxable income. It is important that you discuss this strategy with the appropriate professionals.
