Mozo editorial review Bank of Sydney BOSBasic Home Loan - last updated: 20 June 2024

binocular icon
What's hot
  • 6.19% p.a. variable interest rate (6.23% p.a. comparison rate*)
  • Free extra repayments and redraw facility (min. redraw applies)
What's not
  • $450 in upfront fees
  • LVR must be <80%
Mozo snapshot

With competitive variable interest rates from 6.19% p.a. (6.23% p.a. comparison rate*) at 50% LVR, and a number of useful features, the Bank of Sydney's BOSBasic Home Loan could be a hit with owner occupiers or investors. There are a few fees to budget for though, and keep in mind there is a maximum LVR threshold of 80%.

Key features

First things first, the BOSBasic Home Loan from Bank of Sydney is available to both owner occupiers and investors, but each iteration of the loan comes with a maximum loan-to-value ratio (LVR) of 80% which means borrowers will either need at least a 20% deposit or some built up equity if they're looking to refinance.

Variable interest rates start at a relatively competitive 6.19% p.a. (6.23% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers making principal and interest repayments, or 6.39% p.a. (6.43% p.a. comparison rate*) for investors, both for LVR of 50%. The interest rates are tiered and are dependent on how much you need to borrow, or how much equity you own in your home. 

There are also plenty of features attached to the loan. Along with the option to make free extra repayments and use a free redraw facility ($2,000 minimum redraw applies), borrowers take a repayment holiday and even split their loan between fixed and variable rates. However, there's no offset account available, and repayments can only be made on a monthly basis. 

There are also a few upfront fees to factor in, including a $200 settlement fee and a $250 legal fee. The valuation fee is payable at cost, but the good news is that Bank of Sydney will cover up to $420 in valuation fees. There's also no ongoing service fee to worry about.

snapshot
Who is it good for

If you're looking for a home loan that comes with most of the bells and whistles in the way of features, plus a competitive variable rate, the BOSBasic should definitely pique your interest.  

question icon
Any catches

There are a few conditions for this one. To be able to apply, you’ll need to show you’ve been working at the same job for at least a year. Beyond that, the property itself will have to be an existing residential property situated in a metro postcode, and unfortunately the BOSBasic isn’t available for homes in NT, WA and TAS. Properties in Queensland will face some restrictions too.
