Fixed Rate Home Loans

There are a range of fixed rate home loans on offer from Aussie, and choosing the one for you will depend, among other things, on whether you’re an owner occupier or investor, how you’d like to pay off your loan and your LVR. Loans are available from $100,000 up to $5,000,000 and you can have an LVR of up to 95% on certain offers. As for fees, you can expect to pay a legal fee upfront and a discharge fee once you exit the loan.

Variable Rate Home Loans

There are heaps of variable rate home loans on offer from Aussie, so you’re sure to find something to fit your needs. Depending on the product you pick, you could apply for loan amounts up to $1 million (with the Activate Prime) or up to $5 million (with the Select Basic Variable). Aussie's variable rate home loans come with loan-to-value ratio (LVR) tiers ranging from 70% or 75% up to 95%, so it caters to a wide range of borrowers with bigger and smaller deposits. Generally speaking, the lower your LVR or the less portion of the property value you borrow, the better your variable rates would be with Aussie. Also bear in mind that if your LVR is above 80%, you may have to pay an additional cost called Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

With both the Activate Prime and Select Basic Variable, you'll need to factor in an upfront legal fee, but only the latter has  a discharge fee. You'll also have flexible options at your disposal. You can choose a repayment schedule to match your pay cycle and make use of a bunch of great money saving features, like fee-free extra repayments and a redraw facility (minimum redraw amounts apply).

Aussie to the rescue.

Aussie were amazing, we had a situation where one of the brokers messed up our application and then took off, when we were a week out of exchanging contracts we discovered this. We thought we had already had everything approved. After contacting Aussie we'd discovered what had happened and they were amazing, in one week, they rushed us through and got our approval for us 20 minutes before we were exchanging contracts. It was such a stressful time and Aussie came to the rescue and my partner and I successfully purchased our first home.

Pathetic Company to deal with .. Stay away

We had a bad experience working with Aussie brokers who doesn't have any understanding of the product that they were offering to customers, they had a long(took 3 months for refinancing) and accurate process of checking all the documents and background of the Customer taking the loan, but doesn't know or have any process to make sure that the product that is offered is as per Customer requirements or not. Last year, I had taken a Variable product from a Big 4 Bank where I was mentioned that I am being offered a Honeymoon rate of 2.29%(rate locked though it is Variable) for 2 years(attached the screenshot from Aussie agreement), with no offset and a redraw option, blindly with the trust on the broker and the documentation(between me and Aussie), I had taken this loan though there were fixed products available at 1.98 for 2 years as I was not interested to get locked. Everything was was good until RBA started raising the Cash rate, when the Cash rate Started raising, interest being charged on my loan also started increasing, When I reached out to Aussie on this, they were helpless, and as the Broker who had worked with me had left, they asked me to reach out to Bank. Aussie documents clearly say that my rate(Honeymoon) is locked for 2 years, but the bank conditions are a bit complex to understand which the agent did not understand and conveyed to me in the wrong way. As per Bank, I am being offered a discount of 1.64% for 2 years on their interest rate of 3.93% as per this my rate is mentioned as 2.29%. Now as the Cash rate is raised, my current interest rate is turned to 3.54%. From my experience working with Aussie, they don't get or provide any value addition to borrowers, they are just like postmen (with little or no knowledge) between borrowers and lenders taking a cut and don't take any responsibility when we run into any issue like that of mine. I raised this issue with AFCA hoping they could help me. So please try to avoid going with Aussie, instead, go directly with Bank if you can do research online and can shortlist, if you cannot shortlist online go with an independent broker who can always be reachable and answerable to you if you face any issue.
