    AMP Essential Home Loan Review

    Review published: 15 February 2012
    Review updated: 18 May 2012

    What's hot:

    • 6.10% variable rate (6.12% comparison rate)
    • No penalties for additional repayments
    • No establishment or settlement fees ($600 saving)

    What's not:

    • no offset facility

    Mozo snapshot:

    The AMP Essential home loan has all the essential ingredients of a great home loan - competitive variable interest rate (6.10%), no account management fees and flexible repayment options.

    Key features: The AMP Essential home loan is suitable for first home owners through to luxury property buyers with loans available from $40,000 to $2,000,000. When you apply for the home loan you'll incur NO establishment fee ($350 saving), followed by NO settlement fee ($250 saving) and NO service fee.

    The essentials include the choice between weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments and the home loan has the option of 'whenever' extra repayments, so whenever you find a bit of extra cash you can throw it into your home loan, without penalties. If you find yourself needing the cash again, no problem, just use the loan's redraw facility (minimum withdrawals $2000).

    The AMP Essential loan also comes with the option to split account, means you have the option of spicing up your home loan with a mix of a fixed rate and a variable rate. There is an extra annual fee of $75 per split.

    Who it's good for: Home loan seekers who want a competitive interest rate and flexible repayment options to suit their lifestyle.

    Any catches? There's no offset account facility attached to the AMP Essential Home Loan but the competitive interest rate means that you’ll be saving big on interest anyway.

    About AMP

    AMP is a leading wealth management company operating in Australia and New Zealand, with a rich evolving history spanning 150 years. Its growing banking business in Australia now includes a range of retail products such as home loans, credit cards, savings and accounts and term deposits.

    *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, based on the loan amount and loan term you entered. 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.
