Home Loan Interest Rates Australia
Home loan rates are a key factor in determining how much you will pay over the life of your loan. Rates can be fixed, variable, or a combination of both. Rates can vary depending on various factors, such as market conditions and your financial situation. Our team will help you understand the different types of rates available, compare offers from multiple lenders, and secure the most competitive rate for your home loan.
How to Compare Home Loan Rates
Comparing home loan rates is an essential part of finding the best loan for your situation.
Here are some key factors to consider:
- Interest Rate Type: Decide whether you prefer a fixed or variable rate. Fixed rates provide stability for a certain period, while variable rates may offer more flexibility.
- Comparison Rate: Look beyond the advertised rate. The comparison rate includes most fees and gives you a better idea of the true cost of the loan.
- Loan Features: Some loans come with features like offset accounts. These features can save you money in the long run.
- Fees and Charges: Consider all associated fees, such as application fees, ongoing service fees, and any penalties. A loan with a lower rate but high fees might end up costing you more overall.
- Repayment Flexibility: Check if the loan allows for flexible repayment options, including extra repayments, redraw facilities, or early repayment without penalties.
We can help you compare across different lenders to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Home Loan FAQs
A home loan is a type of loan used to purchase property. You borrow money from a lender and repay it with interest over time. The property serves as security for the loan until it’s fully repaid.
Typically, you need at least 10-20% of the property’s value as a deposit. However, some lenders may accept deposits as low as 5%, often with the requirement of Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance protects the lender if you default on your loan. It’s typically required if your deposit is less than 20% of the property’s value. It can be an upfront payment or capitalised into the cost of the loan. We can help you determine if LMI applies to your situation and discuss ways to avoid it.
A pre-approval is an indication from a lender that you qualify for a loan up to a certain amount based on an initial assessment of your financial situation. It helps you understand your borrowing capacity.
A fixed interest rate stays the same for a set period (1-5 years) before it reverts to a variable rate. Meanwhile, a variable rate can change at any time with market conditions. The right choice depends on your risk tolerance and financial situation.
The approval process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the lender. Our team will ensure that you can get your dream home within the timeline you need.
Lenders usually allow extra repayments on variable-rate loans, which can help you pay off your loan faster and save on interest. However, fixed-rate loans have traditionally not allowed extra repayments a number of fixed-rate loans now also allow extra repayments on home loans.
