If you’re a first home buyer struggling to hit that 20% deposit, then look no further than the Basic Home Loan (Fixed) from Bank Australia. With this loan, you’ll be able to borrow up to 95% of the property’s value, but it does mean you’ll have to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). There’s a competitive three year fixed rate of 2.29% (3.02% comparison rate*) and no application or service fees, helping first home buyers cut costs.
The Bank Australia Basic Home Loan (Fixed) could be the easy-to-manage loan you’ve been looking for. Since this is a fixed rate home loan, you’ll have the comfort in knowing your repayment amount, for the time period it applies for, which you can work into your budget. Coming up with a 20% deposit is tough for any first home buyer, but with the Bank Australia Basic Home Loan (Fixed), you’ll be able to buy your dream home with a deposit as little as 5% on its three year fixed rate of 2.29% (3.02% comparison rate*). Investor rates are also available with rates starting from 2.44% (3.21% comparison rate*) for a three year term.
You won’t have to worry about any application or service fees as well as legal, valuation or settlement fees. The only thing you’ll need to budget for is the $250 discharge fee once you fully pay off your loan.
Another thing to keep in mind is that since this loan is all about low rates and minimals, loan features like an offset account, extra repayments and a redraw facility are not on offer.
Aren’t too worried about being able to make extra repayments or use an offset account? Then the Bank Australia Basic Home Loan (Fixed), with its competitive rates and lack of fees could be a great pick.
Even though the Bank Australia Basic Home Loan (Fixed) keeps fees to a minimum, if you are looking to refinance or have paid off your loan, you will be charged a $250 discharge fee.
