Mozo snapshot:
With a number of handy features including free extra repayments and a free redraw facility and a low 2.74% p.a. (2.77% p.a. comparison rate*), the Homestar Star Essentials Home Loan gives owner occupiers plenty to get excited about. Speaking of excitement, the Star Essentials Home Loan was also named a 2020 Mozo Experts Choice Award winner for Best Low Cost Home Loan!
Key features:
The Star Essentials Home Loan is available for owner occupiers and comes with two rate tiers. If you’re borrowing less than $850,000, you’ll receive an excellent 2.74% p.a. (2.77% p.a. comparison rate*). If you plan to borrow between $850,000 and $1,000,000, you’ll receive a slightly higher variable rate of 2.94% p.a.(2.96% p.a. comparison rate*). Both come with a maximum LVR of 80%, so you’ll have to have been saving diligently for that deposit.
You’ll have a lot of say when it comes to how you’ll pay off your Homestar Star Essentials mortgage. Repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and you can make free extra repayments if you want to pay off your loan faster. If you ever need those funds back you can easily retrieve them with the free redraw facility.
There is a valuation fee, a legal documentation fee and discharge fee at the end of your loan to budget for.
Who it's good for:
With a rate this low, it's hard to go wrong, but this loan is mainly suited to owner-occupiers who want a mortgage with a few of the key features that could help save money, without all the bells and whistles of a full-feature loan.
Any catches?
Both rate tiers come with an LVR of 80%, meaning that you’ll have to have at least 20% of the property’s value on hand for the deposit.
