If you’re looking for a simple, flexible home loan, look no further than the variable rate offer from Australian Unity. This loan is available to owner occupiers borrowing up to 80% of their property’s value, between $200,000 and $1,000,000. There’s an application fee to consider, but the tradeoff is a host of flexible features, including unlimited free extra repayments, fee-free redraws (minimum amount applies) and the chance to take a repayment holiday. You can also choose to tailor your loan by making your repayments each week, fortnight or month. And as an added bonus, take out a variable rate home loan with Australian Unity, and you’ll get 10% off your health insurance.

Like the fixed rate alternative, the variable rate Package Home Loans on offer from Australian Unity offer great value, and are available for up to 90% of the property’s value, up to $2,500,000.
