Looking for a low cost home loan with plenty of flexibility? Look no further than the Essential Home Loan from AMP Bank. With competitive rates starting from 2.29% (2.32% comparison rate*) for owner occupiers, plus a few flexible features including low deposit requirements, the Essential Home Loan could be a great option for a range of borrowers.
The AMP Bank Essential Home Loan is available to both owner occupiers and investors willing to make principal and interest repayments on their loan, and it comes with relatively low variable rates starting at 2.29% (2.32% comparison rate*). On top of that, borrowers won't need to pay any application, settlement or ongoing services fees, although there is a legal fee of $295 and a $100 discharge fee.
So who exactly can apply for the Essential Home Loan and what kind of variable rate will be available? Here's the lowdown:
Borrowers will have the flexibility to choose between making weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments, and they can also make additional payments through the extra repayments facility for free. There's even the the option to dip into those extra payments down the track through the redraw facility (minimum redraw amount of $2,000 applies).
Just remember that the Essential Home Loan Other doesn't come with an offset account attached, or the option of taking a repayment holiday.
Given the relatively competitive variable rates on offer to owner occupiers with LVRs <80%, the AMP Bank Essential Home Loan could be a low cost option for refinancers with built-up equity or new buyers with a decent deposit.
While lower rates are available to owner occupiers, rates can go up to 4.59% (4.62% comparison rate*) for investors. So investors may want to compare other investment loan options if they're looking for a lower rate.

Put in an application to refinance my current loan and they called me up to decline the application for non disclosure on a credit card I had which I thought was inactive and been at $0 for years. I told them I didn't know about it and can show them that I will close it and haven't used it for years, but because the credit report showed it was active they declined the application. I have a perfect credit score and pay all bills and payments on time and now will have a decline on my file. I will take this to the ombudsmen if this either does not proceed or the decline will not be taken off my file.

The service from AMP when you want statements and setting up internet banking is awful. The rates for this loan are outstanding and no other financial institution could come within 0.75% of their rate. The best thing is that when they give you a loan, they won't bother you, unless there is a problem. Unfortunately, their service is what makes them go down in my ranking.

A solid bank that has responded to my questions about comparative interest rates by providing discounts! Updated internet site looks snazzy, but is slightly harder to negotiate, but a solid no-frills option with a trusted bank.
