        I like Nab homeloan because it has a competitive interest rate but the service and the initial application was a very long process and we were asked to take in the same documents again because they lost them.The service was not acceptable at all but it saves us money on interest so we are with them.

        In applying for the home loan, they were very responsive as I had a reasonable deposit. A few years into the loan, my work capacity became limited due to health issues, upon approaching them about how to best manage the loan, little options were given to me regarding if there was a better way to restructure the loan despite - newly approved loans being a lower interest rate.

        When I was on a sole parent pension, they still accepted my application for home loan when other banks/institutions refused me. I have since banked with ANZ for the past 28 years.       Full review

    Home loan information

    With interest rates going up it's a great time to get your first home loan or refinance your existing mortgage at a lower rate. Finding the right loan can be daunting, but Mozo is here to guide you through the home loan maze.

    Our mortgage database allows you to compare home loans rates and fees with ease, and covers hundreds of loans including fixed rate loans, variable rate loans and more. You can also get the inside story on everything from customer service to hidden fees with home loan reviews by the Mozo community.

    Home loan comparison

    Our nifty comparison tools let you quickly filter and compare home loans according to the features you want, such as extra repayments, free redraw and offset accounts.

    Once you have shortlisted the best home loans for your needs, you can compare your chosen loans side-by-side and enquire online at the lender's website.

    Mortgage Brokers

    If you want help in finding the best home loan for your needs, a mortgage broker can help. Mozo can help you compare mortgage brokers with our find a broker service. Mortgage Brokers (sometimes also called home loan brokers) will help you to understand your home loan options such as how much you can borrow, which bank, credit unions or non-bank lenders offer the best rates for your situation and will even help with the application process.

    Finding the right home loan

    Before you compare home loans, it helps to work out whether you need a loan with all the bells and whistles, or are simply after a low rate home loan with no frills.

    Not all cheap home loans offer flexible features like the ability to make extra repayments and unlimited redraw. To avoid getting stuck with a loan that isn't right for your needs, be sure to check features as well as rates and fees when you compare home loans.

    Fixed rate or variable rate?

    When interest rates are low, you might consider locking in all or part of your loan at a fixed interest rate. Fixed rate loans ensure that your monthly repayments remain the same for an agreed period, regardless of whether interest rates go up or down during that time.

    There are some fixed rate traps to be aware of when you compare home loans. For instance most fixed rate loans do not let you make extra repayments, and many impose huge break costs should you decide to switch to a variable rate or another lender before the fixed term is up. Check out variable rate loans

    A split loan is a way to get the best of both worlds by fixing the rate on part of your mortgage, while keeping the rest at a variable rate and enjoying the flexibility that comes with it.

    Home Loan Calculators

    If you are in the market for a new home loan, there is no way around number crunching. Whether you are calculating home loan repayments or how much stamp duty you'll need to pay, Mozo's handy home loan calculators make it simpler to do the maths.

    For first home buyers, Mozo's borrowing calculator will help you work out your budget and how much you can afford to spend on your home loan. And once you have shortlisted loans, run them through the Mozo home loan comparison calculator to see which one will save you the most.

    • *The Comparison Rate combines the lender's interest rate, fees and charges into a single rate to show the true cost of a home loan. The comparison rate displayed is for $150,000 over 25 years, and applies only to this example. Fixed rate loans assume a 3 year fixed term. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Full comparison rate schedules are available from lenders. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
