Fixed Rate Home Loans Fixed Rate Home Loans

The Fixed Home Loan from IMB is a wise choice for any owner occupiers and investors who budget around how much their loan repayments will be each month. The fixed rate is available on loans starting from $10,000 and borrowers are allowed to make up to 12 months of repayments in advance free of charge with the opportunity to redraw these extra funds via internet and mobile banking at a later date. The term of the loan also varies depending on whether you’re an owner occupier or investor, for instance if you’re an owner occupier you can secure a fixed rate for a period of 1 year up to 5 years, while investors have to choose between 1, 3, or 5 year terms. There is a monthly service fee to consider.

The main pro of our home loan with IMB is our mortgage consultant. He's a mobile lender and is always on call. When queried, he gives us the most accurate and up-to-date information needed to make us at ease with any of our financial concerns. Being mobile comes in handy since the main con is that there are limited branches of this building society.
