Mozo Review Bank First First Rate Home Loan Review
Last updated: 11 March 2019.
What's hot:
No application fee for first home buyers
Free extra repayments
Redraw facility available
What's not:
$600 application fee if you aren’t a first home buyer
Mozo snapshot:
The First Rate Home Loan from Bank First offers owner occupiers a competitive 3.64% p.a. variable rate (3.69% p.a. comparison rate*), plus a number of additional features, like free extra repayments and a redraw facility. If you’re a first home buyer you won’t have to spring for the application fee.
Key features:
Bank First’s First Rate Home Loan offers a competitive 3.64% p.a. variable rate (3.69% p.a. comparison rate*) and lots of flexibility to boot. Loans are available for properties up to $1,000,000 with an LVR of up to 98%, which is handy if you’re struggling to save a deposit. Just remember, a higher LVR means you’ll be faced with a higher rate - 3.84% p.a. variable rate (3.89% p.a. comparison rate*) - plus you’ll have to pay for lenders mortgage insurance.
You can opt to make repayments weekly, fortnightly or monthly, so you don’t have to worry about your mortgage being out of sync with your lifestyle and income, and you can also make extra repayments at no additional cost.
The free redraw facility means that if your circumstances change and those repayments could be better served back in your pocket, you can easily retrieve them. Just keep in mind there’s a minimum redraw amount of $500.
There’s also a $600 application fee, but anyone taking their first steps on the property ladder will be happy to hear it’s waived for first home buyers.
Who it's good for:
This one would suit anyone looking for a low-rate mortgage with plenty of built-in flexibility. First home buyers in particular will appreciate the low rate, lack of application fee, and the 98% LVR.
Any catches?
There’s a $350 discharge fee to go with the $600 application fee. And if you plan to make use of the redraw facility, just remember that the minimum amount you can redraw is $500.
