Fixed Rate Home Loans Fixed Rate Home Loans

Like any fixed rate, you’ll always know where you stand with your monthly budget but with Bank of Melbourne’s fixed home loan if you end up with extra funds you can make fee free extra repayments up to a certain amount each year. There is also a repayment holiday feature which you can use if you need to have a break from the workforce such as maternity leave. The fixed rate loan is available for periods between 1 and 5 years with a choice of principal and interest repayments or interest only repayments. There is a partial interest offset facility where you can rack up serious savings over the term of the loan, but keep in mind these great features aren’t free, you’ll need to pay a monthly service fee.
