Express Home Loan rates and fees

Why do rates matter so much?

The rate on your home loan dictates how much interest you will pay on your borrowed amount over the life of the loan. Even a small change in rate can make a big difference over a 30-year loan term.

Fixed or Variable - which home loan is best for you?

There’s pros and cons to both sides. If you’re more comfortable knowing exactly what your loan repayment will be each month then a fixed rate may be best for you. If you want more flexibility or are happy with a fluctuating interest rate which may mean lower repayments, then a variable rate may suit you better.

What's great about a fixed rate?

Reliability and security

 

A fixed rate home loan has an interest rate locked in for a specified time (usually up to five years), regardless of changes to interest rates. This means your loan repayments will stay the same over the fixed period.

A fixed rate can make budgeting easier, because you’ll have certainty about how much of your income you need to put aside for your loan repayments.

And if interest rates rise, fixing your rate can secure a lower rate and could save you money over the long term.

What's great about a variable rate?

Flexibility and potentially lower interest rates

 

A variable rate loan has an interest rate that can fluctuate depending on changes to the bank's borrowing costs. This means your repayment amount can change too.

When interest rates are low a variable rate can work in your favour – but be aware that rates can rise, and when they do, so too may your repayment.

If shortening your loan term is a priority, a variable rate may be more suitable, as you can make additional repayments whenever you want.
